Equine veterinary dental practice serving Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Dr. Kristen Clapp is the sole owner and practitioner of UVES.

Upper Valley Equine Services is an Equine Veterinary Dental practice serving Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. With the ability to haul in to our clinic for both routine and advanced dental procedures. Kristen is no stranger to the area as she has been working in the area since the summer of 2012, after completion of her surgical and medical internship in Northern Vermont at Vermont Large Animal Clinic-Equine Hospital. While in her internship Kristen worked in the field serving ambulatory cases as well as in the hospital for both surgical and medical cases. Kristen is a 2011 graduate from the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island. While there, she developed a strong interest in equine veterinary dentistry that has only grown through the course of her career. Dentistry is an important factor of preventative medicine and has always been addressed in her visits, leading to the transition of UVES from general practice to a dentistry only practice in 2023. Kristen has become a member of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC-Eq) as an equine specific resident with a board certified veterinary dental specialist serving as her mentor. Client education and building relationships with her clients is very important to her. Time will always be taken to answer all questions and be sure the information regarding your horse's care is understood. Kristen is also available to her colleagues to provide support and consultation of their dental related cases and is looking forward to developing these relationships.

At Upper Valley Equine Services we are all about breaking the stigma that being an Equine Vet has to suck!

We drive to beautiful places to see the best clients and horses, we multitask and work hard but feel we are greatly appreciated for it. We appreciate you too! We like to have fun, we like to laugh, and we like to make our patients feel better. Bonus when we pull that off!

We also like Lattes

Here is Emeillia demonstrating ALL of that!

Be the practice you want to be. Be the vet or vet tech you want to be. Be Happy! Enjoy it! It’s such a privilege of a career when you can dial it all in.

Have fun. Smile the smiles.

Drink your Latte

Love your Equine Vet

It’s been a Long (Ear) week! Kassie was very helpful especially when she held up her friend Kelly. She’s approved our bucket of examination tools as well. We apparently have all the right things! Thanks Kassie!

Happy Friday!

This is a great example of what I find and manage everyday in our practice. I’ve come to really love managing periodontal disease cases. On first presentation, these horses truly show a great deal of pain with abnormal chewing, quidding, and sometimes head shyness and bitting discomfort. The feedback I get when their level of comfort has improved is truly rewarding and what makes me enjoy these cases as much as I do.

Please take a look and see the options out there available to make your horse feel it’s best.

Dr. Kristen Clapp and Shauna Sousa had a wonderful time meeting everyone at the Northeast Kingdom Equine Expo this weekend! The wind and rain on Saturday didn't deter the rugged equestrian community. We appreciate all who came to spectate and look forward to working with some new clients in the Northeast Kingdom!

Thanks to those who got some photos and to our lovely equine "volunteers" Opie and Charlotte who stood wonderfully!

Come see us and come visit us at our table too!

There are worse jobs to have, especially on a beautiful Spring day. Truly there are ❤️

Find the good in what you do everyday. It only takes one moment and one deep breath to turn an ordinary day into a good day.

I think they call those moments glimmers. Look for them frequently and look for them often.

Enjoy the day, Enjoy what you do, Enjoy your life ❤️

I know we only do dentistry now…. BUT! This is too amazing not to share.

Clark has been a patient of ours for many years! Way to go Clark and Lena! Truly a miracle!

Miracles in NH! Our Clark was bred to a beautiful Suffolk mare, Lena last year. Lena gave birth to twins this morning! Very rare. Vet says they're good.
Congratulations to Dave & family.
