Meet Our Team

Dr. Tracy Pedersen started her career in veterinary medicine in Ogema after graduation from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. She worked in mixed animal practice there until making a move to Sherwood Animal Clinic in 2003. Through the years, Dr. Pedersen has cultivated her passion for all aspects of equine practice while also enjoying the challenges of small animal medicine. She lives on a farm near Milestone. In 2003, Dr. Pedersen and her husband began Western Horse Sales Unltd and ran a large annual consignment horse sale for 14 years. She now spends her spare time either in a barrel racing arena or a hockey arena with her family.

Passionate about animals since I was little, I decided to be a veterinarian at the age of 5. I grew up going every weekend to my grandfather’s dairy farm and horses and cats have always been my passion. I graduated in 2000 from the University of S=E3o Paulo, which is ranked among the best 50 in the world, I did a master’s degree in surgery and specialized in feline medicine. Married for 20 years, I am the mother of a 9-year-old girl and 4 cats. I love going to the movies and doing jigsaw puzzles and when I can I like to take long walks on horseback. Moving to Canada has always been a dream and I have lived here for 3 years with my whole family.

Megan grew up in White City, Saskatchewan, and was a horse nut from a young age. At the age of 14, Megan and her mom attended a horse sale while her dad was working a night shift, and they purchased a horse. This purchase led to many more horses and Megan began breeding horses shortly thereafter. After high school, she attended University for a short while in the Pre-vet program but decided she wanted to be working with animals immediately, so she instead attended Lakeland College and completed the Horsemanship course. Megan now breeds multiple foals a year and has competed in the US and Canada with horses she has raised, winning several National Championships. Megan also has owned many types of livestock, including sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, and even a llama. Megan lives 2 miles from Sherwood Animal clinic near Pilot Butte, Saskatchewan with her 2 kids, Emmet and Susie, her father Pat, her “husbun” Bob, a mini Rex Rabbit, and Bella, a Lionhead cross.

Emily grew up in small-town Watrous, Saskatchewan. After high school, she completed the Animal Health Technology program at Lakeland College. This brought her to Sherwood Animal Clinic for her practicum, which grew into a full-time position as a Registered Veterinary Technologist. Emily especially enjoys working alongside the veterinarians on equine lameness cases and outcalls. In her free time, she likes to ride her horse, hang out with her cat and spend quality time with her family and friends. She loves being a part of the Sherwood Animal Clinic team and is excited to continue to help their clients’ beloved pets.

Katie’s roots are in Regina, Saskatchewan, where she was born and raised. In 2014 Katie visited Japan, and during her travels, she had the opportunity to assist at a veterinary rehabilitation facility where she fell in love with the industry. When she arrived back in Canada, she continued her education by volunteering at Lakewood Animal Hospital. Katie decided to attend the Veterinarian Technician course at Saskatchewan Polytechnic and will be graduating in June 2021. She also had the opportunity to assist at the PIC research facility, where she further developed her passion and skills for large animal medicine. She enjoys watercolour painting during her spare time and has two adorable cats and an adorable gerbil.

Carlie is currently finishing a Bachelor of Science degree in cellular and molecular biology at the University of Regina with the intent of applying to veterinary medicine in the future. She is a member of Dr. Brigham’s research lab in the biology department and just published her first research paper concerning the influence of temperature on local E. fuscus populations.

When not studying or learning new things at the clinic, she can be found volunteering with a local rescue on the weekends, where she helps trap and sterilize stray cat populations and foster neonatal kittens.

Outside of the veterinary field, she is a jazz and classically-trained vocalist and pianist through the Royal Conservatory of Music. You can find her playing duelling pianos shows at Casino Regina and the Capitol Jazz Club and recording sessional work and guest features on local albums. Carlie loves mixed martial arts and trains in Krav Maga!

Growing up, Larisa was horse crazy and still is, trying many different disciplines before sticking with gymkhanas and barrel racing since the age of 11. Despite putting that passion on hold for now, she is eager to get back to it post-graduation. Being born and raised on Vancouver Island, Larisa spends a lot of time outdoors, exploring the many forests, lakes, and beaches, which is where you can find her when she goes back home!
