His story is an example of how new techniques and technology can combine with a lifetime of veterinary experience to improve a practitioner’s skill and ultimately lead to products as novel as The Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator developed by Dr. Kevin Keegan. Genovese grew up riding Thoroughbred racehorses, so he naturally gravitated...
