Caitlin Rothacker, DVM

Dr. Rothacker’s passion for horses started on a quarter horse ranch in Idaho where she initially grew up. After moving to Putnam County, NY, she continued riding as a working student in a hunter/jumper barn.

She graduated from Bucknell University in 2005, where she studied biology and gender studies. In 2010 Dr. Rothacker earned her DVM from the University of Illinois. Following graduation, she moved to New Zealand for a one-year internship at a Standardbred racetrack practice. Upon her return to the US she completed a large animal rotating surgical and medical internship at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center. Here Dr. Rothacker stayed on as a resident in Ambulatory and Sports Medicine. She became board certified by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Equine Practice in 2014.

Dr. Rothacker’s interests include lameness and diagnostic imaging, purchase exams as well as routine preventive care. In warmer months, Dr. Rothacker can be found tinkering in her garden, often with a headlamp into the evening hours. She enjoys sharing her love of all things wild with her husband, two children and dog Robin. (Source)
