Equine Vets 

Ben graduated in 2000 from Bristol Vet School, which he says seems a long time ago. Originally from the South West, Ben spent most of his formative years on the Wirral near Leahurst where his parents worked at the Vet School. His first job was at Peter Scott Dunns equine clinic in Berkshire, followed by a stint back in Cheshire at the practice now known as Brown Moss Equine. Ben came to Yorkshire in 2003 and joined Bishopton working on the equine and large animal side. After an enjoyable sabbatical in industry and some time back in practice in Ripon, he’s very pleased to have returned to the Bishopton fold for the long term. Ben’s clinical interests are limited but include racehorse and sports horse performance, in addition to an unhealthy interest in worm control and wormer resistance.

Stewart graduated from Edinburgh in 1983. He grew up on a livestock farm in Scotland and spent the early part of his career in mixed practice, with a stint working for the VI service. He joined Stirks Equine Practice in 2003 then spent 3 years working abroad for the Hong Kong Jockey Club before returning to Bishopton Equine in 2018. Stewarts main interests are lameness investigations, poor performance, studwork and horses-in-training.

Lucy graduated from The Royal Veterinary College, London in 2010 and went on to complete an internship at a busy hospital in Essex before heading back to her native Yorkshire to work in predominantly equine practice.

In 2016 Lucy achieved the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice specialising in equine internal medicine, and has a keen interest in anaesthesia, reproduction and poor performance.
