Tomas G. Teskey D.V.M was born in Fort Collins, CO as his father was
finishing veterinary school. He was then brought back to the Dugas ranch in
central Arizona where his family homesteaded in 1887. He grew up with the
animals and four brothers and sisters, and was off to college in Prescott
and then Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. He then headed back to
his birthplace in Fort Collins to attend veterinary school at Colorado State
University with a new bride, Lora.
Dr. Teskey and his wife came back to
Arizona in 1995 with three daughters, and had one more daughter in 1997. He
has been practicing in the same county in Arizona since that time, and
mostly working on horses and other livestock. He met Martha Olivo three
years ago and has been studying and learning alongside her and other hoof
grooms since then. He and Martha, along with family members, are planning
on developing a living laboratory on the family's ranch, where students of
the hoof can participate in research activities, take classes and enjoy the
horses at a working ranch environment.
