Drawing on her experiences as both the event veterinarian and a competitor, she will offer practical insights into how to navigate endurance day and have a happy, healthy horse throughout the competition.

More about Julie Augustine, DVM

Augustine is a veterinarian and eventer from Olney, Maryland, whose career has combined a passion for animal health with firsthand experience in the sport of eventing.

For many years, Dr. Augustine served as the official veterinarian for the Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event, working closely with riders, officials, and organizers to help ensure the health and welfare of horses competing in one of the area’s premier long-format competitions. After years of supporting the event as a veterinarian, she returned as a competitor, completing the Waredaca Training Three-Day Event four times aboard her horse, Texas Riddle. Her experience on both sides of the veterinary inspection provides a unique perspective on the demands of the classic three-day format.
