The story of how a young man who knows nothing about horses stumbles through becoming a horse veterinarian. Matt Evans, thanks to reading too much James Herriot as a child, had a dream--to become a veterinarian. That dream changed along the way to specifically becoming a horse vet. The only problem with his new dream was that Matt was not raised around horses. And, if you are not raised around horses, that makes for an uphill battle of overcoming ineptitude, imposter syndrome, and a load of doubters. Thankfully for Matt, it also comes with a lot of laughs. Chomping at the Bit follows Matt into and out of veterinary school and through his first job as an equine veterinarian. With the amusing acuity of David Sedaris, he faces every new challenge with humility and humor. We meet memorable horses, clients he loves, clients he wishes he could forget, and a cast of colleagues both supportive and--shall we say, less so--as Matt struggles to find his way in the dream job that he is uniquely unqualified for.

Matt Evans, DVM, is an equine veterinarian who graduated from Texas A&M University and now practices outside of Austin, Texas. In addition to being a horse doctor, Matt is also a stand-up comedian who performs shows all around Austin and beyond. He is married to his wife of over twenty-five years (!) and they have two daughters (all of them better than Matt deserves). Matt also paints oil landscapes and horse portraits, but he is a way better writer and comic than a painter, so read this book or catch a comedy show before you look into his art.
