AAEP Past President Dr. Richard Sheehan dies at 91
Dr. Richard Sheehan, a decorated racetrack practitioner throughout New England who served as AAEP president in 1987, died Sept. 30 at the age of 91.
Dr. Richard Sheehan
A sergeant in the Korean War, Dr. Sheehan received his veterinary degree from Cornell University in 1963. He established his racetrack practice in Mansfield, Mass., two years later. Known for his expertise
in lameness, Dr. Sheehan also consulted with Thoroughbred owners throughout the country.
In addition to his term as AAEP president, Dr. Sheehan chaired the Educational Programs Committee and served on the Racing and Nominating committees, among others. Beyond AAEP, Dr. Sheehan served as president in 1980 of
the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association, which bestowed upon him its Paul Revere Award for Excellence in Thoroughbred Racing and its Distinguished Service Award. Additional accolades included the 1997 Sam McKraken Award from the New England Turf Writers Association and a Governor’s Special Commendation for his work on the Advisory Board of the Massachusetts Horse Racing Commission.
With New England in need of an additional veterinary college in the 1970s, Dr. Sheehan served on a committee whose work resulted in establishment of the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. He also founded an endowed award for a Tufts graduate showing proficiency in equine medicine and surgery, established a fund for the Equine Library and assisted with the New England Veterinary Scholarship Trust to raise funds to help offset costs for students attending veterinary school.
