AT the tender age of 25, Westmeath veterinary surgeon Lucia Dawson-Stanley has certainly made an impression in the equestrian world, so much so that she has secured what many would say is the opportunity of a lifetime. Now the resident veterinarian for Paul Schockemöhle (Pferdehaltung GmbH), she will travel to the Tokyo Olympics as one of the vets to the Japanese team. Amazingly, her father, renowned farrier Jeremy Stanley, will also travel with the Japanese team as their official team farrier for what will be his third Olympics.
