Chelsey joined White Equine Veterinary Services in 2022. What she finds most fulfilling about her job is the opportunity to meet people and make a positive impact on the well-being of animals under her care. Chelsey’s commitment extends beyond clinical duties, embodying a genuine desire to help animals feel their best.

During her off-duty hours, Chelsey indulges in the thrill of team roping and barrel racing. When she’s not actively participating in these events, you’ll likely find her on the sidelines, cheering on her children as they showcase their talents in softball and baseball.

At home, Chelsey’s love for animals continues to shine. She shares her space with five horses named Duke, Annie, Dog, Pickle, and Gus. The equine companions are complemented by a lively pack of five dogs – Jax, Cash, Reba, Remi, and Sal – each bringing unique personalities. Completing the household is Callie, a cat that adds a touch of feline grace to their home.
