School was difficult and no matter how hard he tried, his gradesnever improved.

After beingturned down by numerous colleges, Geoff struck out to find his place in theworld and that place turned out to be with horses.Much has been written about the close connection and healing power thatexists between humans and animals, but Geoff Tucker lived that experience.He slowly convinced himself that he could make a difference in the lives ofpeople and horses by becoming a veterinarian, and along the way the events heexperienced changed his life forever.Since the Days of the Romans chronicles Geoff ’s journey from failed student tograduate of one of the most prestigious veterinary programs in the country.He is now a leading expert in his field and travels the country treating all kinds of horses from Kentucky Derby winners and international show horses tobeloved family companions.Geoff ’s story is proof that no matter what the obstacles, belief in yourself isthe most important factor in creating the life you really want.About the AuthorGeoff Tucker graduated from Cornell University and has spent more than threedecades in his own practice.
