Ruth A. Sorensen, D.V.M.
 
        
Dr. Sorensen earned her Bachelor’s degree in equine science with honors from Colorado State 
		University and then continued on to gain her doctorate from the veterinary college. She then 
		completed a post-doctoral internship in order to specialize in the specific needs of sport 
		horses. She now practices in Virginia Dale, Colorado.

        
Besides being a veterinarian, Ruth is an accomplished rider and horse trainer. “I like to 
		think of myself as a rider who happens to be a veterinarian, rather than a veterinarian who 
		happens to ride.” Ruth has trained horses and riders in a variety of disciplines for over 20 
		years.  She worked as the head wrangler at several Colorado ranches and has also ridden Andalusian 
		stallions in exhibition shows. Presently, she competes in Dressage with her own Lusitano stallion. 
		As an equine ambulatory veterinarian, she uses her knowledge as a trainer to evaluate difficult 
		lamenesses in performance horses. In her “spare” time, she authors articles for equine 
		publications and conducts seminars for horse owners and veterinarians around the country.
