Baker grew up in Woodford County, Ky., in the heart of horse country. His early experience with horses came from both his father, Bill Baker, DVM, a veterinarian at Woodford Equine Hospital in Versailles, Ky., and his stepfather Michael H. Bell, a Thoroughbred trainer at Churchill Downs, in Louisville, Ky. Instilled with the love of horses at an early age he attended Auburn University where he graduated with honors from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006.

After graduation, Baker furthered his education through an internship and surgical residency at Peterson and Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala, Fla. After concluding his residency in 2010, he joined his father at Woodford Equine. Baker has received his board certification as a diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.

He brings with him knowledge and expertise that will be an asset to our practice,” said Jeff Pumphrey, DVM, a veterinarian and member of Hagyard Equine Medical Institute
