Stacey Anne Sickler, DVM

Dr. Sickler’s love of horses started at an early age. She got her first horse, Toby, at the age of five. As a girl, she rode dressage and hunter/jumper, cleaning stalls to get lessons and riding time. She went to college at the University of Conneticut, majoring in animal sciences and business. During her college years, she worked summer jobs consisting of anything involving horses . . . show grooming, grooming for polo and working at the university horse barn. Her love of polo began at the University of Connecticut where she played the sport intercollegiately for three years and was captain of the women’s polo team her senior year. After undergrad, polo was an expensive proposition and Dr. Sickler spent several years riding classical dressage with Bettina Drummond who studied under Nuno Oliveria.
