Debbie

I am Debbie, Leader and Imprinter at Dixie Meadows Farm. I was born in Norfolk Virginia and raised in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, a suburb 24 miles southwest of Boston. In 1979 I earned an A.S. degree in Veterinary Nursing, and I spent the next 4 years doing cutting edge monoclonal antibody research at DuPont.  At age 28, I landed back in Virginia (no pun intended) after accepting a job as a flight attendant with United Airlines which lasted for 28 years.

My love for horses goes as far back as I can remember, and my desire to spend as much time as possible in their presence began as a little girl and has never waivered.  I have worked as a Wrangler/Outrider at the Marriott Ranch in Hume, VA, and at a private, high end thoroughbred breeding farm in Marshall, VA where I worked with the young foals and prepared/conditioned the yearlings for the Keeneland sale in Kentucky where they were bred and foaled.  I am presently employed at Equine Reproductive Concepts where I assist with embryo recoveries, breeding, stallion collection, and everything fertility related.
