Ashley grew up along the coast and has always loved animals from a young age. After enrolling in Cape Fear Community College's Veterinary Medical Technology program, she discovered equine medicine and fell in love.

Ashley joined the Reagan Equine team to further her equine knowledge and gain experience in the field. She hopes to get her Bachelor's Degree in Veterinary Medical Technology and go on to attend vet school for equine medicine! In her free time, Ashley enjoys surfing at Wrightsville Beach, taking her dog Bolt for a walk, and growing things in her garden!

Rachel Tedder

Rachel is from Pittsboro, North Carolina, she is currently attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington to pursue an undergraduate degree in Biology with a Pre-veterinary concentration. Her experience with horses started with riding leisurely and being a part of the barn staff in a private barn. Rachel joined the team at Reagan Equine because she loves horses and hopes to gain experience in equine medicine to prepare for applying to veterinary school after undergraduate. In her free time Rachel loves going hiking, spending time with friends, and volunteering at Paws 4 People.

Melissa Medlin

Melissa lives in Wilmington with her husband and 3 children. She grew up in Durham, NC, spending most of her spare time trail riding and caring for her family's small herd of horses. She has always had a passion for working with horses that started at 9yrs old when her parents bought her a horse. That passion continued when Melissa assisted with the family's small breeding program, and she was given her very own foal to raise and train. Melissa was a member of the first group of riders that founded The Appalachian State Equestrian Team and competed with the first ASU IHSA show team. When she isn't busy being a mom, Melissa enjoys working part time for Reagan Equine and caring for her own horse, German Shepard, and chickens.
