Terri A. Clay

Veterinary Assistant
My greatest passion and experience base is my 30 plus years of Horse Management and my success at caring , training and helping these magnificent creatures live their best life possible. I am truly at my best in the company of horses. I feel that my experience with hands on care accompanied with my business and customer relationship skills would make me a solid and seasoned asset to your Equine Veterinary Hospital.
