Haydan Vosburgh, DVM

Dr. Haydan Vosburgh grew up in Topeka, Kansas. She convinced her parents to start riding lessons when she was six years old, and, as they say, the rest is history. Dr. Vosburgh received her Bachelor of Arts in History from Oklahoma State University where she was also a member of the Equestrian Team. In the gap between undergrad and vet school, she lived and worked in Lexington, Kentucky, as an ambulatory assistant at both Hagyard Equine Veterinary Clinic and Foxwood Equine Sports Medicine.
