ResumoThe work starts with a reference to “horse doctors”, the predecessorsof veterinary surgeons, siting the first horse doctor with the surname of Lecuona andfirst name of Agustin in the Valley of Oiartzun, Gipuzkoa, where he was born in 1685,going on to practise his profession in the nearby city of Fuenterrabia (todayHondarribia), where he was succeeded by his son Thomas in 1760. It explains the details and circumstances of those belonging to another branch ofhorse doctors with the same surname and origin discovered in Tolosa (Gipuzkoa) in the17th century, who later proliferated in Ordizia and Irun (Gipuzkoa).A descendent of this line of veterinary surgeons now lives in San Sebastian.It also refers to one of these veterinary surgeon’s artist sons who died an earlydeath, Nicolas Lecuona Nazabal.
