  Our Veterinary Medical Team

Dr. Tracy Walker grew up in West Virginia just East of Elkins along the Cheat River. Dr. Walker completed her veterinary training at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine where she focused her studies on large animal medicine and surgery. Upon graduation from veterinary school, Dr. Walker remained at the University of Georgia for advanced clinical training in an equine and large animal internship.

In addition to her formal training, Dr. Walker has traveled to various areas of the country and gained invaluable experience in sport horse medicine, mare management and foal care. Although, much of her background is in the equine industry, Dr. Walker is also very experienced in beef cow, dairy cow, goat and even llama medicine. Dr. Walker has returned to West Virginia, deciding that there is truly no place like home!

Dr. Walker is very active in many organizations that give back to the community and the veterinary profession.  Locally, she serves on the Randolph County Park and Recreation Board, Randolph County 4-H Leaders and the Randolph County Regional Riding Club.  At the state level, Dr. Walker has served as a board member for the West Virginia Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Walker was also honored to become a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners Professional Conduct and Ethics Committee in 2012.   Dr. Walker is also a member of AQHA, NCHA and a certified veterinary judge for the American Endurance Ride Conference.

Katie Mallow has been at AEVS since Spring 2006.  Katie is originally from Beverly and has been an avid horse owner for over 30 years.  As a teenager, she was very active with 4-H and hunter/jumpers and later showed AQHA on her mare JJ Lea Breeze.  Katie attended Morehead State University where she studied veterinary technology and received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Animal Sciences and a minor in Business Management in 1997.  After graduating, Katie remained in Kentucky for the next 3 years working as a broodmare manager at an established breeding operation.   There she received extensive experience in breeding and foaling management.

Katie handles many duties at AEVS from nursing care and client communication to billing and special orders.  In her spare time, Katie enjoys spending time with her family and her Border Collie Stella.  Katie is a member of the American Association of Equine Veterinary Technicians.

Student Externs

As part of our commitment to the future of veterinary medicine, we often accept students to provide “real world” work experience.  Veterinary students and pre-veterinary students are awarded preference for scheduling. However, veterinary technician students are welcomed too.  High school students exploring careers in veterinary medicine may also schedule days to shadow for work experience.  Please send a resume including requested dates to our email.
