About the Presenter

An equine veterinarian, podcaster, speaker, and lifelong equestrian, Dr. Lacher approaches her work with two guiding principles: an educated client is a better client, and great teams are built by hiring the right people and supporting them well.

Six years ago, she recognized a gap in client-facing education within veterinary medicine and launched the podcast Straight From the Horse Doctor’s Mouth. What began as an educational resource has since grown into a top-tier podcast, trusted by horse owners and professionals alike for clear, honest conversations about equine health and care.

A dynamic and engaging speaker, Dr. Lacher presents to diverse audiences, including the general public, horse owners, and fellow veterinarians. Her talks span a wide range of topics, all grounded in practical experience and a commitment to improving understanding across the equine industry.

At the core of her work is a simple goal: to make the world a better place for horses.
