Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Colorado State University, 1977 · IVCA Certified, 2004

A born healer with over 50 years of experience in the field, Dr. Barbara Page has built her approach to equine medicine around careful observation, clinical judgment, and an understanding of the horse as an interconnected whole. In 1988, she founded Colorado Equine Clinic, manifesting a dream she’d had since the age of 5.  

Colorado Equine Clinic was founded prioritizing the horse—understanding how healthy movement influences the entire body, incorporating the evolutionary adaptations of the wild horse into the care of today's domestic horse, and strengthening the human–equine bond. Dr. Page has spent her career studying how the body heals and moves, helping horses remain comfortable, functional, and active through thoughtful, individualized care. Her scientific approach is paired with a deeply empathetic and holistic understanding of the body's instinct to heal.

With the horse's foot as a constant source of study and inspiration, she has trained alongside many of the world's leading equine podiatrists and farriers.  Her understanding of how hoof form and function influence the health of the entire horse is central to her unique medical point of view. Dr. Page founded the International Foundation for Equine Podiatry Research, and her clinical studies have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals.

She begins with the horse, the owner, and their whole story—observing carefully, listening closely, and using diagnostic tools to deepen and confirm what she finds. By evaluating the horse as a whole, she develops practical, individualized treatment plans that address not only the immediate problem but also the factors that contribute to long-term health and soundness. Throughout her career, Dr. Page has championed regenerative and integrative medicine, incorporating therapies such as stem cell treatment, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), chiropractic care, therapeutic laser, and other emerging, cutting edge approaches.

Her work has helped strengthen the partnership between veterinarian, farrier, horse, and owner, recognizing that the best outcomes come from collaboration. At the center of her philosophy is the belief that healing begins with careful observation, thoughtful listening, and a commitment to improving movement, comfort, and quality of life for every horse.

Practice Manager · Colorado Equine Clinic

Jonathan Page grew up around Colorado Equine Clinic as the son of founder Dr. Barbara Page, and has been part of the practice in one form or another for most of his life. His earliest jobs included pulling weeds, mucking stalls, and helping wherever an extra set of hands was needed. Over time, he moved into more hands-on roles assisting the veterinarians and working as a veterinary technician before ultimately transitioning to the business side of the practice.

Jonathan became Practice Manager in October 2024 and now oversees much of the day-to-day administration and operations of Colorado Equine Clinic. Having worked in nearly every corner of the practice, he brings a unique perspective to the role and a deep familiarity with the clinic, its team, and the family business behind it.

Jonathan graduated from Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs in 2019 with a degree in Ski and Snowboard Business. After graduation, he spent several years pursuing the mountain-town dream in Steamboat Springs, Vail, and Jackson Hole before returning home to Littleton and rejoining the family business.

While veterinary medicine may run in the family, Jonathan’s interests have always leaned toward the operational side of the clinic and the Colorado outdoors. When he isn’t working, he can usually be found mountain biking, skiing, disc golfing, paddle boarding, camping, or finding some other excuse to be outside.
