Helen R Iannitti, DVM
Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Helen Iannitti grew up in Westchester County, New York, where her passion for horses began at an early age. She quickly knew she wanted to pursue a career in equine veterinary medicine. Dr. Iannitti earned her Bachelor of Science from the University of Connecticut (UConn) and went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University. She joined our practice in June 2023, and some of you may remember her from her time riding alongside Dr. Cable as a student and as a new veterinarian.
While at UConn, Dr. Iannitti was actively involved in the university’s equine program and gained valuable hands-on experience working with veterinarians at sport horse practices throughout Connecticut, Westchester County, and Long Island. She continued to build her clinical skills at Cornell, where she worked as a student veterinary technician at the Cornell Equine and Nemo Farm Animal Hospital.
Dr. Iannitti has a special interest in lameness and performance horse medicine and is passionate about helping horses stay comfortable, sound, and performing at their best. She particularly enjoys working through lameness and poor performance cases and has a strong interest in equine podiatry. She values a team approach to hoof care and enjoys collaborating with farriers to help achieve the best possible outcome for each horse. Equine dentistry is another area of special interest, and she takes pride in performing thorough oral examinations and providing individualized dental care for her patients.
Dr. Iannitti also enjoys incorporating Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT), commonly referred to as equine “chiropractic” care, into her practice when appropriate to support her patients’ comfort and mobility. She completed her chiropractic training through the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre, an American Veterinary Chiropractic Association-recognized training program.
Outside of work, Dr. Iannitti enjoys spending time in the saddle—especially endurance riding—hiking with her dog, Josie, and relaxing at home with her chickens.

Trish Pierce
Equine Assistant
Trish grew up in Binghamton, NY with the standard-issue little girl’s passion for horses but had to wait until her mid-30’s to fully explore it. Within five years of her first riding lesson, she had adopted her first horse and progressed to partnership in a small boarding/breeding/training farm where she built a house and lived amid the pastures. Soon after, she found herself working as a part-time assistant to her equine veterinarian and starting her young Morgan gelding under saddle.
Caring for resident and client horses, along with raising foals within a familial herd, fostered in Trish a dedication to equine wellness based on developing individual care plans within species-appropriate enviornments. Trish is committed to cooperative handling and de-adrenalized training that fosters parasympathetic-state wellness in both the horse and human. Her interest in mid-body wellness for both parties in the horse-human dynamic have led her to certification in Equine Facilitated Learning (Athena Foundation, UK) and the Masterson Method of Integrated Equine Bodywork.
Trish lives with her husband, Marty, in Horseheads, NY on a private farm with Sherman the Morgan, the minis Sampson and Spartacus, and Oscar the donkey. A daily meditation practice helps her keep it all together.
