DR. GLENYS BIBLOW
What inspired you to become
an equine veterinarian?
I've always had a passion for horses and the medicine of the species, but I think even more than that I was inspired by the relationships that you build with their owners. I haven't found this happens to the same degree in other species and I think it's a pretty special perk to equine veterinary medicine.
​
What is your favourite part
of working with horses?
​I love how fun it is to learn each of their personalities. They're these thousand-pound, really unique, and really intricate animals, that let us form relationships with them.
​
What are some of your favourite activities to do in your free time? ​
​
One of my happy places is the gym and it's become quite a staple for me. Additionally, I love being outdoors. Whether that's just spending time on a deck, in the mountains, or doing some outdoor activity (I became certified in scuba diving while I was in vet school and got to do a few shark dives). I'm also finding my love of reading again now that I don't have to constantly only read textbooks.
​
What is something people are surprised to learn about you? ​
​
That I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering. It's not the most orthodox prerequisite undergraduate degree for veterinary medicine so it often takes people by surprise when they find out.
