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’s veterinary specialties lie in performance horse medicine, dentistry, and mare reproductive services. However, all aspects of horse health care are enjoyable and rewarding for her, as is developing long-lasting relationships with clients and their horses. Dr. Clark was born and raised in North Dakota on a large farm and ranch. Her interest in horses, science, and the outdoors made veterinary medicine a natural fit for her.

Her husband Chad Clark and their boys reside on a hobby farm with their 10 horses and 2 dogs. They have reining and cutting horses that they enjoy showing on the weekends. She spends the rest of her free time with her boys going to soccer and basketball games, marching band performances, and boating in the summertime.

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

hild 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.
