Author: Jeannie Waldron, DVM, DABVP, EDO

Dr. Jeannie Waldron graduated from Tuskegee Institute’s School of Veterinary Medicine in 1975, and founded the Rectortown Equine Clinic in Virginia in 1994. She is on the board of the Worldwide Alliance of Equine Osteopaths. Jeannie competed in eventing, dressage, jumping and rodeo, before settling down for a long run at endurance. The challenging nature of endurance gave her a unique insight into the horse’s freedom of motion, level of soundness, and nutritional requirements as they affect athletic endeavors. Osteopathy was a natural fit for Jeannie, and she graduated from the Vluggen Institute under the guidance of Janek Vluggen. This training, along with her traditional veterinary skills, allows Jeannie to help horses develop the freedom motion required for peak athletic performance.
