Originally from Corsicana, Texas, Dr. Chris Smith attended Texas A&M for both undergrad and vet school.

Dr. Smith enjoys “being able to see successes from conception to birth to the racetrack and hopefully to the winner’s circle, but most of all being able to make a difference in the lives’ of animals,” he explains. “The relationships created with the owners and managers along the way – it’s as if they are family.” Dr. Smith has been involved directly and indirectly with several of the winners of Triple Crown races.

He’s grateful for the professional horseman in the industry and the quality of stock he gets to see. “The centralized location for all farms that Lexington offers requires less time in the truck and more time to be a vet,” he explains. “The roads we travel and farms we are on daily are beautiful and not taken for granted.”

Dr. Smith team roped a bit through high school, and he’s been involved in the Thoroughbred business with mares, foals and yearlings. He currently doesn’t own any horses, but does have one pony named Rooster his daughters hop on from time to time.

Dr. Smith is married with two daughters; he enjoys spending time watching his kids in their various sports activities, along with hunting, fishing, hiking and the outdoors. (Source)
