Lena Takes a Foal, Book Seven of the Once Upon a Vet School series of Contemporary Veterinary Fiction by equine vet turned author Lizzi Tremayne, is my #SixSentenceSunday for the week.
“You point your toes together, like this, and rest her hoof on your knees,” Kit said, using one hand, while he tucked the mare’s looped leadrope into his back pocket with the other.
The shaggy chestnut, covered in mud, nuzzled his rear and stood like a rock.
I’d never seen feet in this condition: long, broken up, and stinky. Kit’s shoeing apron, its leather cut and scarred by years of knives, nails, and fire, was strapped around his waist.

About Lena Takes a Foal
She needs help… he needs to stay away…
Lena Scott has a problem—one that might prevent her from graduating from veterinary school.
After a messy divorce, Kit Allen returns to his first loves—horses and his old veterinary school alma mater. He excels at imparting his knowledge to students and is determined to earn a tenure track position. Becoming involved with anything but a pager—ever—isn’t in the cards. Especially a talented and beautiful student in need of his assistance.
When Lena’s horse rears over backwards and lands on her, it has to be the dashing resident, Kit, who finds her. Luckily for her, she’s sworn off relationships after her last romantic disaster. She has more important things to worry about than sea-green eyes and rugged good looks.
Besides, if there’s one thing a veterinary school faculty frowns upon, it’s a relationship between a resident and a student…
like oil and water, they just don’t mix.
