Richard Hepburn

Richard studied at the University of Liverpool, the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He recently completed a Masters in gastric ulceration in horses, during which he identified what he believes is a new gastric condition. He is in the first year of a PhD to continue his studies. His study of gastric ulceration in horses began in February 2012, and he presented the initial findings of his work at the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine's annual forum in New Orleans last year. Richard now wants to raise awareness and understanding of what he believes is a separate and poorly understood condition, which he has called 'equine glandular gastritis-erosion syndrome' (EGGeS).
