Veterinary Care For the horses at Assiniboia Downs

Elm Creek Equine has been providing care to racehorses at ASD since 2019. While we have serviced the Standardbred racehorses since the practice's inception, Thoroughbred racing is a newer area of growth for the practice. 

Dr. Dobson has a love of horse-racing that goes beyond veterinary medicine. As a teenager, she was actively involved at Marquis Downs,  Northlands Park, and Rocky Mountain Turf Club. She worked as a groom, a pony person, an exercise rider, and a veterinary assistant at these tracks, before eventually practicing as a licensed veterinarian at Assiniboia Downs for two years. She also  raised money for charity by participating in Alberta Downs Amateur Jockey Racing. 

Elm Creek Equine has a deep understanding of racetrack practice and enjoys providing the horseman of ASD with an outstanding service focusing on maximizing performance through management and injury prevention. 

See you at the races!
