Dr. Brett Gaby graduated from Cornell University in 1992. Following graduation he spent 2 years in immunological research at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, under lead investigator Neil Norcross (collaborator on the Coggins test developed at Cornell). During this time Dr. Gaby was competing at the national level in rowing. He was sponsored by the New York Athletic Club with whom he won several championships including national titles.
In 1994 he moved to Dublin Ireland to study veterinary sciences at the University College Dublin. While there he carried first class honors throughout the curriculum and obtained a useful equine foundation. After returning to the United States, Dr. Gaby attended the Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 1999. He was awarded honors in the clinical pathological sciences from the college. He completed an internship at the Rochester Equine Clinic and was employed by Boston Equine Associates for nearly four years before starting his own practice in 2003. He specializes in lameness diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Gaby has two daughters, and is occasionally seen riding his horse Summer and returning to the water to row.

Carolyn began riding with her aunt in Berlin at a young age and continued growing as an equestrian after her parents leased and then purchased her horse in 2003. She enjoyed showing her horse in local 4-H, hunter, and later dressage shows through high school and into college. While attending Worcester State University, Carolyn managed a barn and enjoyed teaching the next generation of young riders. Carolyn graduated from Worcester State with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and after taking a short hiatus from the horse world, is happy to be back in the saddle at Essex Equine!
