About Dr. Johnson
Dr. Johnson completed her undergraduate studies at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts
earning a Bachelor of Science in biology, earned Cum Laude. Dr. Johnson completed her
veterinary education at The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, earning a V.
M.D. degree in 1986. After graduation from veterinary school, Dr. Johnson was awarded a one
year internship in large animal medicine and surgery at The University of Pennsylvania’s New
Bolton Center. On finishing her internship, Dr. Johnson worked for two years at Almahurst Farms
of Pennsylvania, a large Standardbred breeding farm. From there, Dr. Johnson went on to start
her own equine racetrack practice based at Pompano Park in FL and Pocono Downs in PA. This
practice also encompassed a variety of performance horses. In 1992, Dr. Johnson decided to
devote all of her time to the performance horse aspect of her practice and established a full time
base in Wellington, FL. Dr. Johnson developed a practice devoted to helping maintain upper level
hunters, jumpers and dressage horses at their peak level of performance.
Dr. Johnson has had a life long love of horses and has ridden since the age of 4. Dr. Johnson was
an active competitor in the hunter rings for many years on the east coast, and enjoyed numerous
successful seasons in the amateur owner hunter ring at the Winter Equestrian Festival in
Wellington, FL. Since 1997, Dr. Johnson has enjoyed competing in the jumper ring, starting in the
adult jumpers and advancing to the high amateur owner jumpers. She has competed in show
jumping in Florida, Colorado, New Zealand, and now California.
With her own personal background in riding and showing, Dr. Johnson has been able to develop a
keen appreciation for both the physical and mental demands placed on the equine athlete. This
has enabled her to have a unique understanding of the importance of maintaining the equine
athlete at the highest level of comfort so that they might perform their job with ease and confidence.
Dr. Johnson moved to Calabasas in the spring of 2004 and has recently started Oakhill Shockwave
in order to help provide this new and exciting therapy to the horses of Southern California.
