Becky joined Alpine Animal/Equine Hospital as a large animal tech in 2001. She is a native of Colorado. She is a 1999 graduate from Colorado Mountain College’s CVT program and now works  as a large animal technician and manages the office behind the scenes. Becky loves horses, being in the outdoors and traveling with her husband and 2 toddlers. She has a healer named Grommit.

Sonia joined the Alpine Equine Hospital team in May 2020. Her love of biology and animals were nurtured at a young age by a menagerie of pets and wildlife rescues.  Her desire to work with animals led her to CSU where she earned a degree in Wildlife Biology.  Sonia’s life experiences and previous work provided her with a background in the field of animal care. She feels lucky to share her love of horses while assisting the AEH team in providing preventative care, as well as emergency services. Sonia enjoys developing meaningful relationships with the team, our clients and our patients because she believes good connections and communication helps impact the level of care we are able to provide. 

 

Outside of the AEH clinic, Sonia enjoys living her best life by spending time with her dog, horses, and barn kitty.  As a longtime local she has ties to the ranching community and is always ready to lend a hand to friends and neighbors as she enjoys working cattle, especially from the back of one of her horses.  Additionally, she loves working around her late 1800’s homestead and recreating outdoors by engaging in any activity that keeps her moving.  During the winter you’d be hard pressed to find her having any “free” time as she works a second job as an adaptive (disabled) snowsports instructor.

I was lucky enough to be born and raised working on a cattle ranch in Glade Park, CO. I’ve always known I was meant to work with animals. When I was four years old, I helped raised a litter of puppies that our neighbor had. I’d like to think that was the thing that hooked me. I’ve been working as a veterinary technician since I was 16 years old. Starting out my career at a exotic animal clinic, then moved to a large animal clinic, and eventually a mixed practice were we treated any animal to walk through the doors. Big, small, fuzzy, with scales, feathers, talons, or antlers. Regardless of the animal, I’m always intrigued by learning all I can and helping out with any critter I cross paths with. 


My husband Matt and I have two very wonderful crazy boys that keep us busy. We are new to the area, and very excited to join the community and beautiful scenery. We love to be outside every chance we get, and what a wonderful area for that.
