Dr. Barbara Page
Born in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Barbara Page knew at the age of five, she wanted to be an equine veterinarian.
Although there were no women equine veterinarians at that time, her drive to be one was so real that she was motivated through all of her education to pursue veterinary medicine.
Dr. Page received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1977 from Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine.
After a private practice in Boston for two years, she returned to Colorado and was the first woman to practice as an equine veterinarian, spending the next nine years at Littleton Large Animal Clinic. In 1988 she started a private practice and built the Colorado Equine Clinic, PC in 1995, where she continues to practice with passion for veterinary medicine and a commitment of service to all horse owners. Her special interests are the foot and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
In 1994, Dr. Page founded the Equine Wellness Foundation, a 501C-3 with the mission to improve the bond between horses and people through the research of disease and treatment of foot disease.
Ground breaking research in comparison between the wild horse and the domestic horse has lead to lectures by her in England and throughout the United States. She has authored several papers in referred journals and written chapters in textbooks about equine foot disease. Her research has improved the health of the equine foot throughout the world and continues to go strong.
Dr. Page served as the President of the Denver Veterinary Medical Association, represented the equine world on the AVMA Committee for the Human/Animal Bond, and has served on numerous committees for the AAEP.
Devoted to family, her greatest passion is being a good mother. She enjoys riding horses, presently Western and trail disciplines, and is a continuation of her early years when she was Rocky Mountain Equitation Champion as a 13 and under.
