Equine reproduction veterinarian, Fiona Lacey, left school at 16 to work with racehorses.  After a number of years working at the track, she returned to high school and, in 1988, obtained a degree in veterinary studies.  

Fiona worked as a racetrack vet at Morphettville before moving to New South Wales to pursue her interest in equine reproduction. Fiona worked in New Zealand and England in various equine reproduction roles before returning to Perth.  
Fiona now runs an equine veterinary practice, Olive Grove Equine Clinic, from her stud, Mogumber Park outside of Perth, Western Australia, which she founded with her husband, Colin, in 2006.
