About Us

Pleasant Valley Equine Vet Service was founded in 2005 and has since provided over a decade of professional service in performance horse medicine, equine dentistry, and mare reproductive services.

Our experienced staff is dedicated to delivering compassionate, educational, and supportive service on every visit and call. Our vet team has personal experience ranging from the show ring to trail rides and just about everything in between. We understand what it takes to keep equine partners strong, healthy, and ready to go.

Dr. Krishawn Clark specializes in performance horse medicine, dentistry, and

mare reproductive services. Raised on a farm and ranch in North Dakota, her lifelongpassion for horses and science led her naturally into veterinary medicine.

Krishawn and her husband, Chad, actively compete in reining and sorting, giving her a unique

 perspective on the physical and performance demands of today’s equine athletes. She values building long-term relationships with her clients and providing thoughtful, practical care for every horse she treats. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, boating, and spending time with family and their dog, Groot.

Nicole has spent most of her life around horses, beginning with riding lessons as a

 child and eventually competing in pleasure classes on the Quarter Horse circuit.

Over the years, she has built an impressive list of accolades in the show pen. Her passion for the equine world led her to intern at several respected training and breeding barns, where she gained extensive hands-on experience and deep industry knowledge. Nicole joined our team in 2018, bringing with her a wealth of equine expertise and a genuine love for animal care. She currently owns a filly named Stormi “Flashin Da Goods”.

When she’s not in the barn, you’ll likely find Nicole enjoying the outdoors—whether she’s wake surfing or paddleboarding on the water, hiking local trails with her two dogs, Dolly Pawton (a Golden Retriever) and Sadie (a Doberman Pinscher), or practicing yoga. She also has a love for travel and live music. A creative at heart, Nicole runs a side photography business, Nicole Major Photography, and can often be spotted behind the camera at local horse shows.

I AM GROOT.
I’m the clinic’s resident cowboy corgi and full-time morale booster. I love riding in the truck, playing fetch with clients, and making new friends wherever I go. When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll find me enjoying boat rides, beach days, vacations, hikes, and tagging along to horse shows.

Whether I’m greeting visitors or supervising from the sidelines, I bring nonstop joy, charm, and very serious corgi energy to the team.
