Scott Fleming, originally from Northeast Texas, grew up riding Western Performance Quarter Horses and working with cattle. Upon graduating from high school, Fleming attended farrier school and maintained a quarter horse-centric farrier business in Northeast and central Texas until moving to Lexington. He also served in the Marine Corps Infantry for four years.

Fleming graduated from veterinary school at Texas A&M University in 2013. He then completed an internship at Rood & Riddle in 2013-2014, continued at the hospital as a podiatry fellow.  Following his fellowship, Dr. Fleming joined the practice as an associate veterinarian, and in 2020 became a shareholder at Rood & Riddle.

Outside of Rood & Riddle, Fleming enjoys spending time on the farm with his wife, Tina, and their two children, Callie and Case. A special interest for Dr. Fleming is participating in Equitarian trips to Central America to help working equids in the region.
