New breaking and schooling service

BRENDAN Leahy has launched a new breaking and schooling service in mid-Tipperary. Leahy has spent the past nine years working for Sam Curling and has ridden out for Pat Doyle, Tim Doyle and Aidan O’Brien. “I’m based in Loughmore and have just built a new barn and lunging ring,” he said. “I can take thoroughbreds and half-breds, and hopefully people will support me with horses bought at the sales.”
