We couldn’t do what we do without them. Join us in celebrating our Gilbert team and thanking them for everything they bring to South Valley Equine! 💙

We're excited to welcome Dr. Sarah Brase and Dr. Madison Biester to South Valley Equine as our newest veterinary interns in Arizona!

Dr. Sarah Brase, a graduate of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, Class of 2026, joins our internship program to continue advancing her skills alongside our experienced team of equine veterinarians.

Dr. Madison Biester recently earned her veterinary degree from Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine after completing her undergraduate studies at Rowan University, where she competed on the riding team. Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Biester has been passionate about horses since childhood and has a special interest in equine surgery and sports medicine. She is excited to make Arizona home as she continues developing her veterinary skills while serving the equine community.

Throughout the coming year, Dr. Brase and Dr. Biester will gain extensive hands-on experience in sports medicine, lameness, emergency and critical care, surgery, internal medicine, ambulatory practice, and hospital-based care while caring for horses across Arizona. We are thrilled to have both of them on our team and look forward to supporting their professional growth throughout the year.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Kyle Sereyko and Dr. Kirsten Hall for their dedication and contributions during their internship year. We are grateful for the impact they made on our team and patients, and we wish them continued success as they begin the next chapter of their veterinary careers.

Please join us in giving Dr. Sarah Brase and Dr. Madison Biester a warm welcome to the South Valley Equine family!

For 25 years, Gemma Hudson has trusted South Valley Equine with the horses she loves most.

From reproduction with Dr. Tricia Robinson to surgery with Dr. Howard, she's experienced firsthand what makes great veterinary care different: people who truly care, communicate, and show up when it matters most.

One late-night emergency with a struggling foal reminded her exactly why she keeps coming back.

"They're warm, caring, and they keep you updated. I would recommend coming here in a heartbeat."

Thank you, Gemma, for allowing us to be part of your journey for the last 25 years. We are grateful for your trust and honored to care for your horses and your growing program. ❤️

What stands out to her isn't just the medicine—it's the people.

From knowing each horse by name and history to showing up in the middle of the night when an emergency strikes, caring for both mare and foal through an extremely difficult delivery, these are the moments that matter most.

"We couldn't do what we do without them. They're part of our family."
