Dr. Linx Alexanderson
Born and raised in Oregon, Linx received her Bachelor of Arts from Willamette University and then went on to get her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oregon State University. Linx started riding before she could walk, then began taking lessons at age 5, first riding Hunter-jumpers, and then adding Dressage. She started her love affair with Arabians while she was in middle school, and has raised, trained, shown, and bred her own and client’s horses. She competed extensively in Purebred and Half-Arabian Halter and Country English Pleasure before entering vet school. These experiences led to her devotion to equine medicine and her fascination with equine reproduction. Linx plans to continue on to board certification by the American College of Theriogenologists. She lives in Sherwood with her Rottweiler Tank and her 3 cats Zane, The Dude, and Zip Fizz.

Raul Camerena
Raul has
worked in various capacities at Honahlee since it opened in 1993. He began as a
stall cleaner and has developed into a mare and stallion handler and a general
manager of the facility grounds. After working at Honahlee for 2 years, Raul
moved his wife and 4 children from their home in Mexico to Wilsonville, OR
where they have resided for more 10 years. No day would ever be complete with
out the sound of his trademark whistle travelling across the fields; we always
know where he is working. |

Joe McKee
Farrier
Honahlee is fortunate to have such a skilled farrier who is available
to work on tough cases. Joe enjoys the challenge of working on foals with
angular or flexural limb deformities, hoof balance abnormalities, as well as
broodmares suffering from chronic musculoskeletal problems (arthritis,
ringbone, laminitis, etc). He is often able to ameliorate the pain and stress
that these mares experience, thereby reducing the amount of antiinflammatory
drug administration, and ultimately enhancing the chances of successful
reproduction.
