With the aim of providing comprehensive conventional and alternative treatments for horses and small animals Drs. Mark and Tina Aiken constructed their practice premises on their farm in Ancramdale, Columbia County, New York in 2005 and named it Kilshannagh Veterinary Clinic. Prior to 2005, both Drs. Mark and Tina spent several years in large, multi-doctor veterinary clinics in Great Britain, Germany and the United States. Their years of cumulative experiences in different practice environments, treating horses and small animals, led them gradually to the belief that high quality veterinary medicine, embracing both conventional and alternative approaches, could be successfully provided in a smaller practice setting, combining quality, responsiveness and accessibility.

The team of doctors at Kilshannagh Veterinary Clinic is highly educated and well experienced. Since the inception of clinic, Dr. Mark also known as Hudson Valley Horse Vet has provided a complete range of equine veterinary services. He devotes a considerable amount of his time to working on lameness issues, an aspect of his work that he finds particularly interesting and it has been his philosophy to provide high quality equine veterinary services, embracing the latest technology, but at the same time, to remain small, accessible and responsive to his clients. Co-Founder Dr. Tina specializes in providing a comprehensive combination of traditional and alternative veterinary therapies for small animals and horses, in an approachable and medically current manner. Another team member Dr. Alison Kaufman is is especially interested in preventative medicine, dentistry and internal medicine. She enjoys general practice and derives much satisfaction from helping clients to gain the most from their horses, be it for companionship or performance.
