Robin A. Barrow, DVM

Dr. Barrow was born and raised in Bowling Green, KY. She attended Western Kentucky University, concentrating on Biochemistry and Animal Science-Equine Emphasis. She was accepted to the Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2000. At Auburn, she was active with the student chapter of AAEP and the Auburn Equestrian team, helping to start that program. Upon graduation she was named AUCVM Equine Student of the Year and traveled to the renowned Elgin Veterinary Hospital in Texas for an equine internship. While at Elgin, Dr. Barrow learned from Dr. Bob Lewis, previous President of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP). The case load was heavy on Lameness, Sports Medicine and Surgery.

Dr. Barrow moved to Georgia after her graduation and internship and spent four years in mixed animal practice, concentrating heavily on equine reproduction and lameness. In March of 2004, Dr. Barrow opened Barrow Veterinary Service as a small equine ambulatory service. It has now grown into a full service equine practice, offering hospitalization, reproductive services, and surgery in addition to farm calls.

In her spare time, Dr. Barrow shows American Quarter Horses. Her most famous horse was Sterling Assests, a western all-around horse with Superiors in both Trail and Western Riding. In 2013, Dr. Barrow and Sterling won the prestigious Novice Championships in Trail. Currently, Dr. Barrow is showing Heza Blazin Machine (GusGus), a bay gelding who is showing much talent in the Western All Around events.

When she is not showing, Dr. Barrow is active in the Georgia Quarter Horse Association, and served as GQHA’s President from 2009 to 2013. She currently chairs the Big A Show Committee, a nationally-renowned show that is continuously on the map as one of AQHA’s top 5 shows. She also serves AQHA nationally as a member of the Committee for Showing and Professional Horsemen and was recently appointed to the prestigious AQHA Show Council.

While it seems horses are always in the forefront, Dr. Barrow’s real love is her daughter, Emma. You may even see Emma on the road as mom’s helper!! Together, the two of them enjoy traveling, baking, and Atlanta Braves baseball. (Source)
