Dr. Christy Moss grew up locally in Fairfax, Virginia. She began riding horses at a young age, training and competing in dressage until she went to William and Mary for her undergraduate studies. There she continued to pursue her love of animals, and especially horses, by majoring in biology and riding with the hunter/jumper equestrian program. She then ventured north to New York for veterinary school, graduating from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2018 with honors.

Christy performed her internship at Piedmont Equine after graduating vet school and has stayed with the team ever since, now serving as part of the associate veterinarian team. Dr. Moss completed a Theriogenology residency in 2024 and passed the College’s board exam the same year, becoming a Diplomate of the American College of Theriogenologists. Dr. Moss is able to bring specialized reproductive and neonatal knowledge to the Northern Virginia region as one of only a few equine-focused Theriogenologists in the state. She enjoys working with mares and foals in all capacities, offering services such as frozen semen breeding and embryo transfer.

In her free time, Dr. Moss enjoys running and hiking with her dog Barzy, as well as visiting local breweries and wineries. She lives in Gainesville, Virginia, with her husband, Ashton.
