Our Staff


Vicki Hrdlicka, a Colorado native, has been a dedicated horsewoman since she began riding at the age of eight years. She rode and showed hunter and jumpers throughout her junior years under such notable colorado trainers as Zygmind Billwin, Dion Dana, Wilson Dennehy and Ben Wade.

After her junior years Vicki traveled East to work with the legendary Dave Kelly. Under Mr Kelly's tutelage, she broke and galloped racing thoroughbred and steeplechase horses as well as traiing and showing hunters and jumpers for Diana Dodge and Mrs Tom Waller.

After her return to Colorado as a professional, Vicki brought along the jumper Garfield who later competed at the GrandPrix level after being sold to Mr. Wilson Dennehy. She then bought a two year old out of New Mexico named Mr Know It All and brought him up through the jumper ranks. He was later acquired by George Morris.

Vicki is currently accepting new students in hunters, jumpers and equitation. She specializes in fixing problem horses and starting young horses.

Jenny Paisley hails from Ohio, and has worked for the last 30 years in the horse industry.  She has happily extended her lessons and training to Kent Hill Farm. 

She specializes in hunter/jumper show horses and travels to most of the shows in this area including Tuscon and Albuquerque.  In the past she has qualified and showed in the Fall Indoor Circuit 7 times with many students competing in the Medal Finals and Young Rider Jumpers. 

She particularly enjoys the training of showing of young horses.  She is a USEF "r" judge and soon the "R" coming soon!

 

Laura Austgen Smith graduated from Colorado State University in 2005 with a doctorate in veterinary medicine and a PhD in veterinary virology.  She then left her native Colorado for an internship in equine medicine and surgery at Virginia Tech's prestigious Marion du Pont Scott Equine Medical Center. 

Laura remained in the Washington D.C. area, working both as a clinical veterinarian and on Capitol Hill in international veterinary medicine, until returning to Colorado in the summer of 2008.  "I am delighted to have found Kent Hill Farm for my semi-retired eventer, Patrick.  The footing is very good, and there are a variety of safe turnout areas to suit different owners and horses.  We're also implementing a new deworming program this year that should be healthier for the horses, and economical. 

I live only minutes away from Kent Hill, which allows me to peek in on any patients frequently, and tend to the rare emergencies expediently.

Dr. Laura and Jet
