WHAT began as a hobby for a couple to enjoy has become an almost full-time occupation for Gerry and Ber Leahy. Along with their daughter Fiona, they own Millridge Atlantis (a team silver medallist at the 2025 European Championships under rider Ian Cassells), and the couple have had many other successful eventers at all levels over the years. This week, Gerry took some time to speak to The Irish Field about his life with horses and his hopes for the future.

“From the silver medallist to the retired donkey, they all get the same treatment; there’s no discrimination in the yard. They are all horses and all need to be looked after,” Leahy says.
