Renate Higgins
I came to Texas in 1970. I couldn’t get here quick enough! I graduated
from Copperas Cove High School. During high school I worked for several
restaurants. After graduating I continued working in the restaurant field
and eventually worked my way into management, at which time I also
worked on my business management degree. Although I liked working in
the restaurant field I had always wanted to be in the veterinary field. So, I
began to pursue this.
In 1984 I saw an add for a position open at a small animal veterinary
practice in Killeen, Tx. I responded and was interviewed. I was hired! It
was the best thing that could have happened to me! During my small animal
experience I also took a veterinary technician course to further my
knowledge about various animals and techniques in their treatment and
handling. Even though I worked in the small animal field for quite some
time, I decided to pursue working for an equine veterinary practice.
About 10 years ago I began working for Dr. T’s Equine Clinic. I really love
what I am doing and have never regretted changing my field of
employment. I enjoy the clients and their horses.
On a more personal note, I have raised three sons John and the twins Kurt
and Kyle. I enjoy my horses, dogs and cats in my spare time and take every
opportunity I can to ride.
