In 2002, she became a part owner of the Wayne Veterinary Clinic, joining partners doctors. Mark and Lauri Zink.

“I do large and small animals, kind of everything. Just a general practitioner,” she said.

As the rodeo’s veterinarian, Heithold is on call in case an animal is injured.

“Horses are accident prone, so make sure you’re ready if anyone needs stitched up. Livestock, if they have any problems, at all, I’m available,” Heithold said. “Most of the time I’m hoping I don’t have to treat anyone while I’m here, because it’s usually not good.”

Heithold estimated only a handful of times she needed to assist an animal during the rodeo.

Once, she treated a colicky horse and, on a few occasions, she has treated horses experiencing exertional rhabdomyolysis, a muscle syndrome, also known as tying up, which causes a horse to become stiff. Other symptoms include sweats and reluctance to move.

“Otherwise, I get to come and watch and be a fan. Then again, I’m always ready just in case.”

She packs everything she may need for the worst-case scenario: fluids, IV line, catheters.

“It’s all the little things you might not think of. It’s pretty amazing, though, the rodeo community. Everybody’s willing to help out, too. A lot of times, if somebody has something going on, they’re asking those around them about it, too.”

She credits the Clearwater community and chamber for continuing to make the rodeo a priority.

“It’s amazing to see how well they put it on, all the hard work that goes into it. It’s just so smooth. It’s nice to be a part of it,” she said.

Bruhn tends to find items she likes when ordering for the boutique.

Since opening, Bruhn said business has been good.

“Last week, with the rodeo, I had great traffic for the boutique,” she said.

The hair salon and boutique are situated in a new structure, built by Stearns Construction, of Clearwater.

“I just wanted something simply, but catchy. I was going for the rustic style. And, I wanted something, if I want to, I could add on,” she said.

Bruhn and her family moved to the Clearwater area two years ago.

“The kids and I really enjoy Clearwater and the people. A lot of people asked if I was opening a shop, and the kids wanted me closer to home and not travel so much,” she said.
