Rachel Jahnke, DVM

Background: I was born and raised in Manchester, England. I started riding (English, of course) when I was seven years old. I owned a Cleveland Bay Thoroughbred cross and did dressage until my horse "Toya" was diagnosed with Navicular disease in 1987. I graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatchewan, Canada in 1990 and completed my internship at Atlantic Veterinary College on Prince Edward Island. In 1998 I joined the Wisconsin Equine Clinic.

Hobbies: In my spare time I enjoy traveling, Tai Chi, hiking and horse back riding more for pleasure these days.

Medical Interests: While I love all aspects of equine ambulatory practice my strong interests lie in equine ophthalmology (eyes), Veterinary
Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT) and Internal Medicine. I am also developing a great interest in Traditional Chinese medicine with an emphasis on acupuncture. Being an ambulatory vet is very exciting and interesting. I love meeting so many varied and fascinating people, and its great to see them interact and bond with their horses.
