Text in French

Philippe Etienne Lafosse (1739-1820)
"learned horseshoeing in the blacksmith shop of his father, Etienne Guillaume, who was also a well-known horse anatomist.
Philipp Etienne was not merely a crude apprenticed horseshoeer, however; he was also a learned man.
He studied human and animal anatomy by visiting slaughterhouses and observing dissections in hospitals. Furthermore, he followed advanced studies at the Academy of Sciences, investigating anthrax, and was educated in the art of horse riding. He joined the army as a horse doctor in 1758.
After the French defeat in the Seven Years' War, he joined the medical faculty of the Paris university.
Then he started his own public courses in hippiatry for interested individuals in 1767, and this sparked a debate about the social attributes and purposes of veterinary education"
(Jones/Koolmees, A Concise History of Veterinary Medicine, p. 106)
