CAOIMHE Doherty is testament that with hard work and passion, anyone can make a difference in the competitive worlds of horse racing and breeding.

Without any family background in racing, the Galway native has worked her way up to the position of manager at Tony and Sharon Smurfit’s Forenaghts Stud, and co-founded Treo Eile, a not-for-profit organisation focused on thoroughbreds’ lives after racing.
