Kimzey puts his welding
expertise to work for safety
A group of horses rounds the comer at full speed, dirt flying, silks glistening in an array of colors. Suddenly, one goes down, engulfed in the sea of horses and riders. The wave continues, leaving behind a frightened horse with an injured leg. Attendants try to steady the horse to avoid further damage. “Can they save him?” the fans whisper anxiously.
This is a scene no one wants to witness, and one where everyone hopes for a happy ending. Unfortunately, serious injuries can occur to competitive horses in a variety of athletic events as well as to horses simply turned out to pasture. Thanks to the innovation of a metal fabricator in Woodland, Calif., the lives of many equine friends have been saved.
John S. Kimzey of Kimzey Welding Works, Inc. started his own company in 1953 and began developing veterinary products in the late 1970s. Though veterinary products comprise only 10 percent of the company’s annual sales, they significantly improve the treatment and welfare of injured horses throughout the world.
