Receptionist & Marketing Assistant

Elle

Elle grew up in St. Louis, MO as a proper barn rat. She traded mucking stalls and feedings for ride time and spent all of her time at the barn. When Elle turned 18, she moved to Kentucky where she joined the racetrack and graduated with a degree in Equine Science. Elle would breeze horses in the mornings, race to her classes, and be back in the barn for afternoon chores. She always had a passion for working with vets and especially loved learning how to keep her rides fit, fast, and healthy.

Elle worked as an assistant trainer and was licensed in IN, KY, and LA after graduating from the North American Racing Academy.

Though her love for racehorses remains strong, Elle left the track in 2016 and joined the world renowned Budweiser Clydesdales team. Working as a Clydesdale handler for the Budweiser Clydesdales was a dream and Elle got the opportunity to participate in several cool events, including assisting in one of the Super Bowl commercials. After a couple years, the racehorses called her back and Elle moved to Australia for a thoroughbred breeding season.

When Elle is not with horses, her hobbies include hiking, snow and water sports, reading, and spending time with her husband who is her adventure partner.

Elle is thrilled and honored to be a part of Tacoma Equine Hospital's team of brilliant vets and amazing staff.
