Selena S. Young, DVM



Dr. Young grew up in the Twin Cities where her equine interests began at a young age. She had the opportunity to ride and learn on many different horses and competed in the hunter/jumpers. She was able to continue riding through college on the intercollegiate equestrian team and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota Crookston. Upon returning to the Twin Cities for veterinary school, she received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2023 from the University of Minnesota. During veterinary school, she worked as a technician at the University’s Piper Equine and Large Animal Hospital and was involved in the student AAEP (equine) chapter. She completed a 1-year veterinary internship at Anoka Equine after graduation gaining experience in all facets of equine medicine, field care, and surgery. Selena’s professional interests include preventative medicine, emergency and critical care, and sports medicine, but she enjoys it all. Most of her free time is spent staying active at a local CrossFit gym or riding horses. She also enjoys spending time with family and friends and anything outdoors.
