Ms. Faux is one of the stars at NC States CVM Simulation Lab! She is the VSI Equine Palpation Colic Model.

One of the most popular horses on campus never makes a sound.

You can’t ride her, and she won’t trot or jump or gallop. You can’t bathe her, though she’s always impeccably groomed. You can’t feed her; she won’t eat.

But you can take her apart and put her back together again — over and over.

Her name is Ms. Faux. Everything about her looks real and nothing is.

She’s one of the stars of the Simulation Lab at the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine. She used to live in a large classroom — sometimes in the hallway — in the Veterinary Health and Wellness Center, not far from where her living, breathing equine brethren are housed. Now, she has moved into the barn at the Teaching Animal Unit, even closer to real horses.
