RACEHORSES have always been a part of Denise Callanan’s life, ever since the daughter of Gerard and Bernadette grew up on her family’s stud farm Nanallac Stud in Monasterevin, Co Kildare.

Denise is delighted to be taking part in the Corinthian Challenge Charity Race Series in aid of Irish Injured Jockeys. A graduate of Kildalton College in Waterford, where she studied stud management, Denise is now studying acupuncture in Dublin with just one year to go to be fully qualified.
