BHS Veterinary Manual

The BHS VeterinaryManual

Jane Nixon is married to Stewart Hastie, an equine vet of some repute and author of the BHS Veterinary Manual

Jane and Stewart formed Nixon Equine Vets dedicated equine veterinary practice in 2005. Stewart Hastie BVMS MRCVS (Consultant) graduated from Glasgow in 1944. He worked in general practice in Kent & Northampton before joining a one-man agricultural practice here in 1956. He quickly developed a thriving companion animal section (dog & cat in those days) and in the early sixties, began to species specialise in horse work, in which he was fully occupied 10 years later. It was here that Stewart’s pioneering interest in the value of ethical co-operation with recognised complementary disciplines developed.
