Dr. Owens grew up on Tiger Mountain, Issaquah and Bainbridge Island, and is a third generation Seattlite.  Her entire family was heavily involved in Pony Club, Area VII Young Riders, and organizing events.   She trained with Nancy Lowry and Jean Moyer through success at intermediate level eventing, but was prevented from going advanced with her top horse, Celebrity, due to veterinary problems, thus launching a lifelong passion for sport horse medicine.  Sarah went to Brown University in Rhode Island,  concentrating  in ecology and premedical biology with a minor in postmodernist film production,  and earned her DVM at Tufts University in Massachusetts, finishing in 2002.  She has taken time aside from her sport horse interest to work for the African Union on veterinary services distribution models for nomadic people, wildlife medicine in Africa, as director of Veterinarians for Global Solutions, on the board of directors for the Tibet/Nepal NGO Drokpa, and with Pan American Health Organization in Panama.  She was the vet for the $85 million Warner Brothers movie Racing Stripes, filmed in South Africa, caring for 11 zebras, 110 racehorses, and a posse of trained pelicans, bloodhounds, etc. She has bought and trained gaucho cowponies in rural Argentina for professional polo.  She completed equine externships with John Nolan and Kent Allen in Middleburg, VA, at CCI**** events pre-Sydney Olympics, and at Palm Beach Equine Clinic at Palm Beach Polo Club.  She worked for PJ McMahon  in England as official vet for the Cowday and Guards Polo Clubs outside London and treating the horses of Pippa Funnel, Kyra Kyrtland, and many other Olympians. Her application for FEI Official Veterinary status is currently pending. On the other side of the spectrum she worked as the equine vet for a mixed practice in rural agricultural Devon, seeing hunting horses, racehorses, and native ponies, as well as vetting for the local zoo, which was the recent subject of a prime time BBC documentary.  Sarah was the first person to introduce such things as stem cell therapy, maggot debridement, and IRAP to Devon.  She is very pleased to be returning to her roots in the Pacific Northwest, and has brought her horse Brother (a Newmarket Thoroughbred), and her border collie Katie from England.  Her hobbies are backpacking, polo, eventing, and film production. She offers a practical, sports oriented veterinary service, with full dental, ultrasound, and digital xray capabilities.
