It’s “the ‘hidden gem’ of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine with 165 acres of green pastures, 62-stall main barn, stallion and broodmare barns, all less than two miles away from the College. The entire facility is a learning lab for DVM students and researchers, with the horses as the teachers.”
