Shalyn Jean Crawford, DVM

Dr. Shalyn Crawford was born and raised on the back of a horse, or pony at times. She has been riding show hunters since a young age and has spent most waking hours working with, riding, or generally enjoying horses. Dr. Crawford is a Virginia alum twice over, graduating Magna Cum Laude from James Madison University and then advancing to veterinary school at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. After graduating as a DVM, she went on to complete a competitive post-graduate internship in equine medicine, surgery, and general practice at the well respected Blue Ridge Equine Clinic outside Charlottesville, VA. Dr. Crawford then came back to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and founded Four Star Equine in 2011, and has been providing on farm care for the area’s horses ever since. (Source)
