Sandra Blackwood, DVM

Dr. Sandra Blackwood graduated first in her veterinary class at Colorado State University in 1999. Equine veterinary care was a natural culmination of a lifetime love of horses. Her mother reports that her first word was “horsie” and she began riding at the age of five. She began employment in the equine industry at the age of 14, trading chores for lessons. Her interest in dentistry began during her equine clinical rotations during veterinary school when she was introduced to specialized dentistry through a professor with a particular interest in the equine mouth. She saw many horses that did not receive adequate dental care, and was determined to improve the standard of equine dentistry in her own practice. (Source)
