Mentee Comments: 

Dr. Kenton Morgan by his mere presence inspires kindness and collegiality; thus is the most important quality of mentorship.
– William A. Moyer, DVM, Billings, MT

Mentors are defined as “experienced or trusted advisors” and usually the mentee is younger and less experienced. Kenton and I have been friends since early college and even though we are similar in age we grew up in vastly different circumstances, i.e., me with lots of brothers and he with all sisters. Somehow out of those environments he emerged as trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. I had to go through years of Boy Scout training to learn these and somehow without additional training he just possessed these traits. Similar ages but from different upbringings that came together in college to mostly my benefit.

Dr. Morgan is the living embodiment of what it means to be “always by the side” of horses and those who care for horses. His knowledge, skill and dedication can only be matched by his empathy, kindness, and sense of good humor. He is truly an inspiration as an equine veterinarian, but even more so, as a man of character and principle. Every person, animal or cause he touches, he makes better. Congratulations for your decades of service and dedication. You have made a lasting impact on the world, and on all the people (and horses!) you have impacted along the way, myself most certainly included.
– Jen Grant, Southern Pines, NC

To be around Dr. Morgan is ‘good and good for you’. I will never be able to truly express my gratitude to this incredible veterinarian, friend, colleague, and all-around human being for the indelible mark he has left on my life. Happy Retirement Kenton – enjoy this next adventure!

Dr. Morgan! There are so few words to share my gratitude, appreciation, and adoration of you as a person, a leader, an influencer, and a mentor. Your impact on each and every person you interact with makes each of us better people. True mentorship and leadership is making others better simply as a result of your presence, you are that person. Your patience, wisdom, humor, faith, light, encouragement, and support are invaluable, and lasting. Thank you for being you, and for caring so deeply about others. You are truly a hero. With love and gratitude.

I cannot think of any member of the veterinary profession who epitomizes all that one could wish for in a colleague than Dr. Kent Morgan. He is the kindest, most obliging, and resourceful person that I have been so fortunate to have known for many years, and who has never been found wanting whenever I have sought his help.
