The Equus Veterinary Service Staff
Steve D. Sundholm, DVM
 Dr. Sundholm's interest in veterinary medicine developed as he was growing up in Iowa. An avid horse lover since childhood, Dr. Sundholm trained his own horses and was accomplished in barrel racing and pole bending. After graduating from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1978, Dr. Sundholm practiced equine and small animal medicine in his hometown for five years. Since 1983, he has been an equine exclusive practitioner in the Oregon City area. A past president of the Northwest Equine Practitioners Association (NEPA), Dr. Sundholm maintains memberships in several professional associations including AAEP, AVMA, OVMA, NEPA, and the International Association of Equine Dentistry (IAED). Dr. Sundholm has taken many extra courses in equine dentistry to supplement his education. He has also been tested and passed all levels of certification in the IAED and is now an examiner for this organization, administering dental certification testing for other practitioners across the country. Dr. Sundholm is excited about all aspects of equine veterinary medicine, especially surgery, reproduction, lameness and dentistry. Instrumental in the design and building of the new clinic, Dr. Sundholm welcomes the opportunities for enhanced client services. In his spare time, Dr. Sundholm enjoys bird hunting with his dogs, ballroom dancing, a variety of outdoor recreational activities, and power tools.
Ashley A. Magee, DVM, DACVS
 Originally from the West Linn area, Dr. Magee earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon in 1986 before pursuing her veterinary degree at Tufts University where she graduated in 1995. After completing an internship in large animal medicine and surgery at Washington State University in 1996, Dr. Magee went on to a surgical residency program at University of California Davis, which she finished in 1999. Since earning her board certification by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2000, Dr. Magee has performed surgery in equine hospitals here in Oregon and as a visiting faculty surgeon for Washington State University and provided mobile equine surgical services for several equine hospitals in the region. Currently Dr. Magee is a staff surgeon for Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital and also performs elective surgical procedures here at Equus Veterinary Service. Dr. Magee is a member of PVMA, OVMA, AVMA, ACVS, VECCS, AAEP and the Society of Phi Zeta. Outside of work, Dr. Magee enjoys horseback riding, traveling, hiking and other adventures with her husband and twin girls.
Support Staff
The dedicated and knowledgeable support staff members at Equus Veterinary Service are vital to the functioning of the hospital. Karen, Anita, and Amy provide valuable assistance to the doctors in the clinic and on farm calls. Shirley, Vicki, Pam, and Angela are committed to professional and friendly client service in the front office.
Technicians & Assistants
 KAREN FROGNER, CVT assists the doctors at Equus in a wide variety of diagnostic, medical, and surgical procedures. With a special interest in equine anesthesia and radiography, Karen has several years of prior combined experience at an equine referral center and an equine lameness specialty clinic plus six years as a small animal veterinary assistant. An avid endurance rider, gaited horse trainer, and long-term horse owner, Karen says, "Riding is like breathing."
ANITA KNAPP, had a seventeen-year history of veterinary technician experience in California before moving to Oregon in the 1990’s. Her background also includes several years’ work at a guest ranch, as well as significant office experience. Anita brings a life-long love of horses to her job as a veterinary assistant at Equus and lives for camping with her Quarter Horses.
AMY HALE, an Oregon State University Animal Sciences graduate, focused her education on equine science and animal behavior. Amy has been training, showing, and breeding horses, especially Welsh Cobs, since 1993 and is very involved in the promotion of Welsh ponies. Amy continues her dedication to horses in her work as a veterinary assistant at Equus.
Front Office Staff
 SHIRLEY KOHLER, a dedicated Equus employee since 1995, has experienced many changes and considerable growth in the practice over the years, advancing to reception and billing department supervisor. Shirley’s horse experience includes the operation of her own boarding facility for 20 years, as well as 4-H leadership since 1989, including several years as 4-H Horse Advisory Chair. In her spare time, Shirley enjoys trail riding and line dancing.
VICKI WEED, has enjoyed her work as receptionist at Equus since 1996. Vicki’s first horse, given to her before she could walk, was her constant companion as a child. Her love of horses and desire to work with people provide her with inspiration to continue learning about horse care in order to provide excellent client service.
PAM GEISLINGER, also had horses in her childhood, until boys became more important in her teen years. However, Pam "came to her senses" several years ago and bought another horse. Pam’s enthusiasm and prior veterinary receptionist experience contribute to her success as our newest team member.
ANGELA SUNDHOLM, a former high school math teacher, manages the business aspects of the veterinary practice. Angela has fond memories of her pony Sassy, husband Steve’s POA Skeeter, and a crazy horse show event called the "panty race." Angela assisted in the design and building of the new clinic and is excited about the expansion in client services.
