Hello and Happy New Year!

As we continue through our ownership transition you may notice a few changes. A slightly new name and new logo, but the same friendly faces and voices greeting you on the farm or on the phone!

We will also be transitioning to a new email address: [email protected]

Office phone number is still the same and the best way to reach us Mon-Fri 8am-4pm.
(503) 632-6336

Likewise, our after hours emergency line is the same: call (503) 301-4211 and the on-call doctor will be paged.

And we are working on a new website that should be up and running shortly.

Look forward to seeing you soon!

To all PCS clients,

To those who have known Dr. Posey for the last 18 years,

To those who watched Dr. Moneta grow up riding ponies and welcomed her as their equine vet at PCS 8 years ago,

To those we are just starting to get to know….

Thank you for being a part of our journey as equine veterinarians! Our journey continues as we transition to clinic owners and we are excited to step into our new roles.

As Dr. Crabbe steps away from PCS she is passing to us a practice built on decades of compassion and dedication to horses. Our entire work family is grateful to Dr. Crabbe for her leadership and we wish her the best of luck in her next ventures!

We look forward to continuing to provide quality and compassionate care for all of your equine partners as Pacific Crest Equine Veterinary Services.

Coming to a barn near you in 2023!

Dear PCS Clients and Friends,

After more than 30 years of taking care of you and your horses, it is time for me to pass the reins of Pacific Crest Sporthorse to Dr. Jennifer Posey and Dr. Lindsey Moneta, who will become the new owners at the start of the new year! I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work alongside both of these two amazing veterinarians for many years, and it gives me great comfort to be leaving all of you and your horses in such capable and caring hands.

As many of you know, I have spent the last several years pursuing a graduate degree in Bioethics and I am looking forward to putting this education to work within the veterinary profession. I also plan to keep myself busy teaching some classes, writing, doing more officiating at competitions and, of course, riding my horses!

It’s been a pleasure working with you. While I will miss seeing you and your horses as patients, I hope to see you around the barn or in the show ring. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Posey and Dr. Moneta as the new owners of Pacific Crest Sporthorse. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Dental exams are not all about floating sharp points!

Another common finding are diastema (gaps between the teeth). In a normal mouth the teeth are tightly packed together, but with abnormal wear or imbalances in the mouth teeth can move and create spaces between teeth where there shouldn't be. Depending on the size and shape of the diastema, food can get trapped in these areas and cause severe discomfort and periodontal disease. In the worst cases these can lead to premature loosening and loss of the teeth.

Of the many abnormalities we find in mouths, one of the most common in all ages of horses are sharp enamel points. These points tend to form on the outside of the upper teeth, potentially causing abrasions or ulcers in the cheeks, and on the inside of the lower teeth causing potential damage to the tongue.

With regular dental exams we can identify problems early and help keep the mouth in balance to minimize the chance that these points end up causing harm to the soft tissues of the mouth.
