Dr. Colleen Kramer

Many will know Dr. Colleen Kramer for her veterinary care in the area. Owner of the Beaver Valley Animal Clinic, Dr. Kramer has earned her place on the Home of Champions monument for excellence in Equestrian Sports.

Hailing from Colville, WA, Dr. Kramer has been part of the Greater Trail community since 2002, providing mobile veterinary services for large animals. In 2012, her business expanded to include much more, as the Beaver Valley Animal Clinic was born.

Since 2012, Dr. Kramer has competed in both Canada and the US with the Arabian horse breed in Equestrian Sports. That year, she ranked in the US top ten for Training Level Dressage. Her championship achievements occurred between 2018 and 2024, when she earned the title of the US or Canadian National Champion ten times, and Reserve National Champion eight times. In 2022 and 2023, she ranked 8th in North America.

In 2021, the Arabian Horse Association bestowed upon her the Master Horseman Champion Award, representing lifetime achievement among amateur competitors in the Arabian breed. And some recognition for her competition companion is necessary, as well: In 2024, her horse WT Studebaker, earned the title of Equine Canada’s Horse of the Year in breed sports.

Her love of the equine is also demonstrated through philanthropic work. She is a devoted supporter of the SPCA, Bear Valley Rescue in Alberta, and Love this Horse Equine Rescue in California.

Dr. Kramer is our first Home of Champions inductee for Equestrian Sports, inducted in 2025.
