Hello all!
My name is Dr. Stephanie Horgan Smith and this is my official ‘hello’ to the Goldenvale community. A bit about myself to start – I grew up in Newmarket, spending my time outside of school playing soccer and horseback riding. After graduating from Newmarket High I moved just a little ways to the west to complete my Bachelor of Science, Honours at the lovely University of Guelph. I then attended the Ontario Veterinary College to complete my DVM from 2007-2011. Shortly after graduating, I got a job working in an equine/small animal clinic for a year and half until I heard about the position opening up at Goldenvale; which brings us all up to date.
I still enjoy playing soccer and horseback riding, and have recently started ice hockey as well. I currently live in Stouffville with my husband Patrick, greyhound Desi, 2 cats – Lily and Piper, and a leopard gecko, Kali. A lot of my free time is now spent training my 3 year old filly, Guinevere.
I am very excited to be back so close to Newmarket and working at Goldenvale with Dr. Teasdale. I look forward to meeting all of you and getting to know you and your fur-family.
