Some big news out of one of Area II’s finest veterinary establishments: Sports Medicine Associates of Chester County (SMACC) is now under the ownership of Dr. Ashley Taylor and Dr. Taryn Gassert. Both doctors joined the establishment in 2015, which was originally founded by Dr. Kevin Keane in 2005. Dr. Keane has been a steadfast figure in eventing for many years, not only serving as veterinarian to the stars but actively riding at the upper levels – including completing the Kentucky Three-Day Event in 2014 — himself.
Never fear though, Dr. Keane hasn’t hung up his stethoscope — he’ll continue to practice veterinary medicine at SMACC, just no longer as the practice owner. Congratulations to Drs. Taylor and Gassert on purchasing the business, and we hope this means we’ll be seeing you out on course even more, Dr. Keane!
