Jason has specialised in equine veterinary care for over 20 years qualifying from Cambridge University in 1992.  Working first in Hampshire where he developed the equine side of a mixed practice, he then went on to spend 9 years at Peter Scott Dunns equine hospital in Berkshire. Working with both pleasure and performance horses at all levels of competition, Jason developed his interest in general equine practice, stud work, lameness investigation, back problems and dentistry.  Whilst working for Peter Scott Dunns he was routinely the on duty vet at Guards Polo, including the annual Cartier Polo Gold Cup and was also duty racecourse vet at Sandown, Ascot and Kempton.  He worked in their equine hospital performing over 1500 equine general anaesthetics and dealing with their post-operative complications and care.  He also looked after the equine stud work for this large 10 equine vet practice including AI, with both chilled and frozen semen. 

In 2002, Jason moved to Hertfordshire where he joined the RVC equine practice.  He was awarded his Royal College Certificate in Equine Practice in 2003 and has since focused on developing a strong team to expand the RVC equine practice.   He was appointed an Official Measurer for the JMB in 2006.  The practice grew rapidly thanks to the dedication of the team he built up and he continues to steer and develop it in order to maintain its position as a centre of excellence dedicated to serving the horses and owners in the community.
