In December 1946, in a small hamlet of Pecos, NM, Joe P. Quintana was born. At 3 years of age, Dr. Quintana’s left ear was bitten off by Poncho, one of his father’s horses. At an early age, Joe became aware of the pleasure and the pain of equine relationships. As a young man, Joe wanted to be a Veterinarian. In June 1977, Joe was graduated from Colorado State University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Quintana passed away in 2013 but he continues to inspire his staff, friends, and clients.
