Mark Baus

Dr. Baus is the son and grandson of large animal veterinarians in South Dakota. Although this
experience shaped his decision to become a veterinarian, the desire and inspiration to provide care
exclusively to horses occurred during veterinary school. Upon graduation from Kansas State University
College of Veterinary Medicine in 1981, Dr. Baus joined a veterinary practice in Fairfield, Connecticut
with Drs. Howard Raven and Rick Mitchell.

Dr. Baus and Dr. Mitchell founded Fairfield Equine Associates in 1989 where Dr. Baus practiced until he
started Grand Prix Equine in 2009. Grand Prix Equine currently has eight veterinarians and provides services to horses in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts and Florida. He has provided care for horses
in the same region and for many of the same clients for over forty years.

The Fairfield and Westchester County region has a long tradition of supporting the show horse industry. Many of the finest horses, riders and trainers in the country have started their careers in this region and Dr. Baus has had the privilege to work on many of those great horses and with many great trainers and riders.

In addition to memberships in the American Veterinary Medical Association and American Association of Equine Practitioners, Dr. Baus is on the veterinary committee for the United States Equestrian Federation. He was on the board of directors for the AAEP and is a past member of the AAEP Ethics
Committee. Dr. Baus is a past president of the Northeast Association of Equine Practitioners.

In his off time, Dr. Baus teaches a course in life skills at a local prison. He also enjoys auto racing as a fan and a driver.
