Courtney Bolam
Dr. Courtney Bolam, DVM, DVSc, DACVS-LA, grew up in London, Ontario, Canada, and from a very early age was horse crazy! She began riding at the age of 5, initially taking dressage lessons, then joining Pony Club and eventually exploring some lower-level eventing during her high school years. Dr. Bolam attended veterinary school at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Ontario, before completing a rotating hospital internship at Peterson and Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala, Florida. She then returned to the Ontario Veterinary College for a large animal surgical residency. In 2006 she became board-certified in large animal surgery. Dr. Bolam spent 8½ years working for Wisconsin Equine Clinic & Hospital in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. There she provided elective and emergency medical and surgical care, as well as attending to routine wellness and sports medicine cases. While she has always enjoyed working in the field and in-clinic, Dr. Bolam’s passion for emergency equine medicine and surgery is an important and integral part of who she is as a veterinarian. She has provided surgical care for the Piedmont Equine Clinic for a decade and became a partner in 2024. Outside of work, Dr. Bolam has revisited her enthusiasm for eventing in the last few years. She enjoys exploring Virginia, especially all the great outdoor activities that our beautiful state has to offer!
