Brenda Stadelmann, DVM

Dr. Brenda Stadelmann moved to the San Fernando Valley as a young girl. At the age of 8, her mother signed her up to join the Blue Shadows Mounted Drill Team in Lake View Terrace to try “something new”. This new sport laid the foundation to decades of riding and owning horses, which eventually led to discovering her passion in veterinary medicine.

After years of rigorous instruction, clinical experience, and volunteering, she earned an associate’s degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine from Los Angeles Pierce College. She then achieved a Bachelor of Science with a minor in Equine Medicine at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Through her educational experiences, as well as veterinary ride-a-longs at Santa Anita racetrack, Dr. Stadelmann developed an interest in equine reproduction and sports medicine. She earned a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Atlantic Veterinary College on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Although she enjoyed her adventures up north, including learning how to drive through blizzards, Dr. Stadelmann returned to Southern California to complete a year-long, surgery and internal medicine internship at West Coast Equine. Now an associate at Topline Equine Veterinary, she looks forward to continuing her veterinary career.

During her spare time you might find Dr. Stadelmann riding her horse Sancho along the mountain trails, training her deaf cattle dog Zoey, or enjoying all the little restaurants in her community. (Source)
