Our next introduction is Dr. Mandi Holland!

Dr. Holland and her husband Dr. Ellis are the current owners of Beartooth Animal Hospital. A 2004 veterinary graduate from Colorado State University, Dr. Holland began her career at San Luis Rey Equine Hospital in Bonsal, CA then transitioned to Turf Paradise Racetrack in Phoenix AZ where she joined Dr. Mark Anderson’s practice.

Dr. Holland has since worked in every aspect of racetrack practice but particularly enjoys lameness, treatment of performance limiting conditions, and advocating for the horse. While in Montana, Dr. Holland compliments our practice in Red Lodge with her compassion for helping small animals as well as continuing her equine work.

Dr. Holland’s community involvement is rooted in her lifelong enthusiasm for rodeo. She is an alumni of the Montana State University Rodeo Team (96-00) and represented our state as Miss Rodeo Montana in 2000. Dr. Holland continues to serve in the rodeo community as a board member for youth rodeo (Tomorrow’s Rodeo Champions), she is the Royalty Director for the Red Lodge Home of Champions Rodeo, and competes as a breakaway roper.

Not all of us are tough enough to live in Arizona year round, but Dr. 𝑴𝒂𝒙 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒕 is!

Dr. Max Schmidt is an equine sports medicine veterinarian with a lifelong foundation in horsemanship. He grew up working with horses, learning the craft of farriery early on—knowledge he now integrates into customized performance shoeing packages to enhance athletic ability and prevent injury.

Dr. Schmidt completed his undergraduate studies at Oregon State University before earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Midwestern University in 2021. His practice focuses on optimizing performance, diagnosing and treating lameness, and keeping sport horses competing at their best.

Outside of his veterinary work, Max is outdoors every chance he gets—taking his boat to the lake, riding enduro single-track on his dirt bike, and enjoying anything that gets him outside and moving.
