Ambulatory Large Animal (Equine) Practice

Please join us in welcoming our new office assistant Kay Shanahan to the Hess Equine family.

Kay is originally from Maryland but she has been calling Pennsylvania home for the past eight years. She’s spent her life following her greatest passion—horses. Kay has been riding since she was five years old, and what started as a childhood love has shaped both her career and her life. As a former veterinary technician and riding instructor, she’s had the privilege of caring for horses and helping others build confidence in the saddle. Horses have always been at the heart of her identity.

Kay enjoys getting to know our clients, supporting our veterinary team, and helping make each visit a positive experience for both horses and the people who love them.

“I'm grateful to continue being part of the equine community. Whether I'm behind the front desk or at the barn, horses will always be at the heart of my life.” - Kay

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Dr. Abby Reilly. She joined our practice this week and will be with us for the next year as a veterinary intern.

Dr. Abby Reilly is originally from Salisbury, Maryland, and has loved horses for as long as she can remember. She began riding at age 9 and developed a deep appreciation for the horse–human bond that ultimately inspired her to pursue veterinary medicine.

Dr. Reilly earned her Bachelor of Science in Equine Science from Centenary University in 2022, where she was an active member of Centenary’s Vet Team and spent much of her time working in the barns and caring for horses. She graduated from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2026 and is excited to begin her career at Hess Equine.

Dr. Reilly looks forward to building relationships with clients while providing compassionate, high-quality care and continuing to grow her knowledge across all aspects of equine medicine.

She currently lives in York, Pennsylvania, with her two cats, Minnow and Ducky. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, spending time outdoors, and being with friends and family. She also hopes to make her return to riding in the near future.

It’s always nice to have extra help!

While cute at first glance, this donkey sitting like a dog is actually in response to hind foot pain. She is feeling better now after proper treatment. And she is an absolutely stellar patient.

Healthy foals (even the sleeping ones) are the long awaited reward for the efforts of the prior breeding season. We are happy to celebrate the successes of our breeding clients as we enter the final months of the 2026 breeding season.
