Dr. Tatiana Viau was born with the horse crazy gene. Though not scientifically recognized, this trait is commonly acknowledged in the equine community as an inherent affinity for horses that is as undeniable as it is stubborn.
It's no surprise that Viau initially wanted to pursue an equine track while in veterinary school at UC Davis. But she was discouraged from that route by people in the veterinary community, with warnings of work instability, financial hardship, and burnout.
