We are delighted to introduce our newest 2025/2026 intern and she’s a local equestrian!

Tiana Pavan grew up in Port Moody, BC and started riding horses when she was 10 years old. She has been a competitive show jumper in Langley for 12 years now, and haven’t strayed far from the horses since!

She completed her BVetMed at The Royal Veterinary College in London, England which she says was an incredible experience. She had the opportunity to complete many different externships across the UK as well as here in Canada. Her show jumping background lead into her interest in Sports Medicine and rehabilitation. One day it is her hope to pursue a residency in this area and come back home to work as a specialist.

Outside of work she enjoys riding her young horse Rocco, as well as playing soccer.

Welcome Tiana! We hope your year at PMVS will be a great one for you!

Board-Certified Equine Surgeon Dr. Nathalie Côté is back at Paton and Martin and will be covering our hospital cases until the end of August while Dr Natacha Bonomelli is away.

Dr. Cote graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Université de Montréal in 1988. Subsequently, she completed an internship and a year of surgical residency at the same institution. She continued her training at the University of Guelph where she obtained a DVSc in Large Animal Surgery. She remained there as a clinician and faculty member until 2003.

Dr. Côté then joined a reference centre in equine surgery and opened her own establishment in partnership with another veterinarian in 2007. During this time, she continued to teach in the VSTEP program, a program that helps graduates from foreign countries take the Canadian Veterinary Entrance Examination.

Since February 2017, she has held a faculty position at the University of Guelph. Dr. Côté has been certified and diplomatic with the ACVS since 1997.

We are extremely appreciative to have a surgeon with her experience and expertise available to give us a hand!

We are very happy to introduce Morgann Rollin, our second intern on the 2025/2026 rotation.

Morgann grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. She spent every waking hour at her grandparents’ dairy farm and at the local stable. Her passion for animals moved from the barn into the clinic during a high school co-op with a local veterinarian.

Morgann completed her Bachelor of Biomedical Science at the University of Guelph (2021) and subsequently her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the Ontario Veterinary College (2025). She was active in campus life - competing with the university equestrian team, raising an autism service dog, leading the Global Vets and also the International Veterinary Club, and working part-time with neonatal foals at the Ontario Veterinary College Large Animal Hospital.

After hours, Morgann can be found crafting, hiking, watching sunsets and planning her next adventure!

Welcome to the west coast, Morgann!!

Please join us in welcoming Montana to Paton and Martin for the next year of her internship!

Summertime is here and we need to keep our horses well hydrated. Ensuring fresh, clean water is always readily available is just common sense. Keeping water buckets and tanks in a shady location can help cut down on algae growth as well as frequent scrubbings.

FUN FACT: horses have a unique way of drinking that differs from our cats and dogs. They don't just scoop up water with their tongues; instead, they use their lips to create a seal around the water and then lower their tongue to form a kind of straw.

By lowering their tongue, they create a low-pressure area inside their mouths like a vacuum.This pressure difference causes the water to be drawn upwards into their mouth.

Once enough water is inside, the horse triggers its swallow reflex, and the water is pushed down the esophagus and into the stomach.

Water comprises approximately 70% of a horse’s body so yes, it’s pretty important!
