Makenna Ackerly

Veterinary Assistant

Makenna grew up in Parker, Colorado, where she began riding Saddlebreds at 12 years old. She moved to Fort Collins to pursue a bachelor's degree in Equine Sciences. Here, she was heavily involved in the colt starting program and began riding reining horses. After graduating in 2022, she continued with reining horses, working as a barn manager for two years.

Working with performance horses firsthand and seeing the physical demand it takes to excel at high levels gave her an interest in and appreciation for sports medicine.

Makenna is excited to learn more about Equine Rehabilitation and becoming part of such an awesome team!
