Laena grew up in the Roaring Fork Valley working with horses her entire life. She rode with the Roaring Fork Hounds Pony Club, went to nationals with the junior polocross team, then got into Hunter Jumpers. Laena and her wonder horse, Akula, went on to represent Zone 8 at the North American Young Riders (a Junior Olympic event).
After college and some traveling, she focused her love of animals into a career as a veterinary technician. Laena has worked in both large and small animal vet clinics and animal shelters. She has decided to focus on large animals specifically and even has her certification in equine sports massage.
Laena recently settled back into the valley with her husband, two kids, three horses, four chickens and one old dog.
