Our Staff

Katy is a 2001 graduate of Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. Though she is particularly interested in care of the performance horse, Katy enjoys the variety of working with all types of horses, regardless of age, breed, or discipline. She has extensive training in dentistry and is certified in acupuncture and Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (chiropractic work). From childhood and through veterinary school, Katy was a true equestrian with experience in the hunter show ring, dressage, and breaking/training young horses. Nowadays, her hobbies include running, baking, and traveling. When she’s not at your farm, you can find her and the family on their small farm, taking care of their mini donkeys, two dogs – Rocky and Sadie, and Bailey, the parrot she’s had for almost 30 years!

Jennifer is the daughter of an Army major and grew up in Ethiopia and the Middle East before her parents settled in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She spent her teens helping Thoroughbred racehorses find second careers as Pony Club horses. She graduated in 2000 from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and completed an equine medicine and surgery internship at Las Colinas Veterinary Center outside of Dallas, Texas. Jenn is passionate about the human-horse bond and the healing power of horses, and is a sucker for a cute Quarter Horse.

Jessica is a native of Augusta, Georgia, and a 2004 graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. She completed an equine medicine and surgery internship at the Equine Medical Center of Ocala in June 2005, which was where she developed her interest in digital imaging. Her other veterinary interests include endocrinology and management of the equine foot. Jessica’s admiration for horses began at a young age and she has dabbled in several riding disciplines including hunt seat, Western (both at the intercollegiate level), and trail riding. More recently, she has discovered a passion for the exciting new sport of Working Equitation. When she can find the time, she enjoys exploring the great outdoors on her horse, Rugby, and playing with her dog, Lottie, and cat, Trevor. She’s also quite a gifted artist!

A New Jersey native, Dr. Grady grew up showing in Hunter Jumpers before heading to University of Notre Dame for her undergraduate degree. She went on to University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and then completed an internship in medicine and surgery at Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center in New Jersey. She worked on Thoroughbred racehorses in her home state and also practiced in Maryland on sport horses and racehorses before joining HVS. Her professional interests include lameness, reproduction, and emergency medicine. Outside of veterinary medicine, Danielle is now back in the Jumper ring with her horse, Divo, and also enjoys hiking, skiing, and photography. She lives in Middleburg with her husband, and son, and their dogs, Rory and Owen, and kitty, Millie.

Dr. Kaylin Beatty is a Minnesota native who attended veterinary school at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.  After vet school, she completed a year-long internship at Bend Equine Medical Center in central Oregon where she honed in her skills as an equine practitioner. While in Bend, she worked in a hospital setting and provided primary and referral care to a wide range of types of horses and donkeys.  Her professional interests include sports medicine, emergency medicine, reproduction, and foal care. She is also passionate about client education.  Outside of work, she enjoys following the thoroughbred racing industry and riding- ask her about the large draft horses she’s currently riding! When away from horses, she enjoys going to live music events and spending time with her partner who is also an equine veterinarian in the area. She is excited to get to know the clients and patients of Haymarket Veterinary Service and experience all Northern Virginia has to offer.

Prior to joining Haymarket Vet Service, Liam gained a wide variety of experience from his career that first took him around the world and then landed him a position in Prince William County.  Now, you’ll usually find him managing the office, but he makes “guest appearances” on the road assisting the vets or dropping off medications to your barn.  He’s quick to answer the phone but be prepared to joke around with him when he does!  When not working at HVS, you’ll find Liam with his family, running the trails of the Battlefield, or in the barn with their four mini donkeys. 

Mary is the person that keeps our “books” organized at Haymarket Vet Service! Prior to being our bookkeeper, she had been an auditor for the federal government for over 30 years. Her favorite things about working here are speaking with our clients regularly and ensuring that all of their billing questions and problems are resolved. When she’s not working, Mary enjoys spending time with her family and three dogs, Copper, Chewy, and Teddy.

Before starting her family, Emily was a vet assistant at HVS. Now that the kids are older, she’s back on the team in the office!  Emily grew up taking riding lessons before she found her passion with soccer but has always had a love for all animals. When Emily is not busy here, you can find her at the motorcross track with her husband cheering on their 2 boys, or ringside while their daughter is riding her pony, Chicken Bob.

Joanne is always willing to go the extra mile when communicating with clients about their horses!  She grew up in Southern Maryland, riding whenever she had the opportunity, and gained a lot of experience over the years.  She’s now an integral part of the office staff and enjoys getting to know all of our clients.  When not at the office, she spends time with her husband, two children, and their horses on a small farm in Rappahannock.   

Patrick started helping out with the family business at a young age. At first, he occasionally rode with Dr. Katy just to get to know what goes on when we’re out on the road. Now, he’s an integral part of inventory management and learning how all of these medications can help us treat your horses. While high school still takes up the majority of his days, he still finds time to relax with our dogs, Rocky and Sadie, and he’s a competitive swimmer during the summer. You’ll most commonly see him with an Air Pod in an ear – ask what music he’s listening to!
