Mackenzie Edmonds
Pharmacy Technician and Inventory Coordinator
Mackenzie was born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley. From a young age her parents knew that she was a born animal lover. At age 7 she started cross country riding lessons but has since then become an avid trail rider. Mackenzie fell in love with the adventure and has trail ridden all over the valley. She worked in several different roles during her 8 years in small animal veterinary medicine including kennel attendant, receptionist, and veterinary assistant. Outside of work Mackenzie enjoys spending time with her family, finding new trails to ride and working in her garden. Her farm consists of a very spoiled appaloosa horse, a pot belly pig, a russian tortoise and several kitties.
Gabriela Kazyak
Pharmacy Technician
Gabriela was born in Fairfax Virginia and currently lives in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, with her family and her 2 Vizslas.
Gabriela's equestrian story began in the Netherlands, where as a child she experienced the rich tradition of European horsemanship. Under the guidance of local trainers, she developed a solid foundation in flatwork, jumping technique, and horse management. Returning to the United States, she continued to refine her abilities, ultimately competing successfully in hunter/jumper ring, training off the track thoroughbreds and working as a riding instructor.
Outside of work, Gabriela loves spending time with her dog , Tessa and going on trail rides with friends. She also enjoys road trips and cruises in her Camaro. Gabriela is very excited to be a part of the Piedmont Equine team working as
a pharmacy technician and vet assistant.
