Dr. Allen grew up in Williamston, Michigan, admiring horses for as long as she can remember. From her early days in Pony Club to competing in dressage today, horses have always been in her life. A 2012 graduate of Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, she completed an internship in equine medicine, lameness, and surgery at Wisconsin Equine Clinic and Hospital.

As an active dressage rider who trains and competes her own German Riding Pony, Golden Will, she brings a rider's eye to equine lameness and performance medicine. Dr. Allen loves being a part of her clients' journeys and celebrating their successes. She is deeply grateful for the wonderful community that supports AEVS.
