Please join us in celebrating our Practice Manager, Megan Cormack, on her promotion to Regional Director with PetVet Care Centers, where she will be supporting small animal practices across our region.

Megan has been an integral part of Columbia Equine Hospital for 20 years, helping build and grow the practice into what it is today. Her steady presence, dedication, and commitment to both patients and people have shaped an incredible team and culture.

While Megan will be stepping out of the Manager role, she is not going far. She will continue to be a familiar face at the clinic and a valued support as we transition to new leadership (more to come soon!).

We are so proud of Megan and grateful for all she has contributed. Please join us in congratulating her on this exciting next chapter.

Foaling season is upon us! Reminder the 1-2-3 rule: a foal should stand within 1 hour, nurse within 2 hours, and the mare should pass the placenta within 3 hours! If these checkpoints aren’t being met, call a veterinarian right away! Even when everything goes according to plan, a new foal exam and post foaling mare exam are recommended around 12 hours after foaling. If you are expecting and have any questions as you prepare, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. 🍼

Considering fostering a horse? Reach out to Sound Equine Options.

Foster Homes Needed for Rescue Horses
Sound Equine Options is in need of compassionate foster homes to help give rescued horses a safe place to land on their journey to recovery.

Fostering saves lives. It allows us to take in more horses in need while giving each one the individualized care, attention, and healing they deserve. Whether it’s a senior horse needing a soft place to land, or one recovering from neglect, fosters make all the difference.

- We provide guidance, support and can pay agreed upon direct costs
- You provide daily care and a safe environment
- Together, we change lives

If you have space, experience, and a heart for helping horses, we would love to hear from you!

In the coming weeks we will need fosters for:
1. Teenage bashful but safe gelding who cannot have too much grass.
2. Teenage mare who is sweet, well-handled and has been around other small farm animals.
3. Well behaved and lovable senior horse who needs to have mash twice a day.
4. Beautiful older but healthy mare who can be on grass and is used to living in a herd.

If you are interested in fostering please fill out our application here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/SEO/Equine or message us at [email protected] to learn more or to ask any questions.

Please share to help us reach the right people — our horses are counting on us.

Join us in welcoming Mackenna Morey to the Columbia Equine Team as a veterinary assistant! You will see Mackenna out in the field as well as in clinic working with patients and owners.

Mackenna Morey was born and raised in Oregon, where her love for horses started at a young age and quickly grew into a lifelong passion. She spent her childhood in the barn whenever she could, and as she progressed, she found her heart in the Reined Cow Horse discipline.

Along the way, Mackenna has been fortunate to learn from talented and respected trainers who have helped shape her program and deepen her understanding of cow horse, cutting, reining, and c**t starting. She is passionate about creating confident, well-rounded horses and is always eager to keep learning and improving her craft.

At home, Mackenna enjoys spending time with her two horses, Piper and Wilson, who continue to inspire her every day. When she’s not riding, you’ll likely find her wheeling, hiking, or paddle boarding. This March, she’ll be heading back to Australia to compete in Cutting, Reining, and a c**t starting competition—an opportunity she’s excited to embrace as part of her ongoing journey in the industry.

Please help us welcome Cerena Teeters to the Columbia Equine Team as a veterinary assistant! Cerena brings years of horse experience and a bright personality to the clinic.

Cerena Teeters was born and raised in Boring, Oregon, where she grew up under the care of her grandparents and around horses her entire life. That upbringing shaped her deep love for animals and the outdoors, especially through her bond with her childhood horse, Kahlua. Together, Cerena and Kahlua competed in OHSET for three years, consistently winning and qualifying for both state and regional competitions every season. She also participated in 4-H for three years, further building her skills and passion for riding. Today, Cerena rides four horses of her own, but her adventurous spirit doesn’t stop at the barn you can also find her snowboarding, riding dirt bikes, or out on the water boating. When she’s not chasing adrenaline, she’s usually hanging out with her loyal wiener dog, Bentley, enjoying the simple moments just as much as the fast-paced ones.
