Leveret Stud was created with two goals in mind: to produce some of the most recognizable names in flat racing and steeplechasing, and to strive for preservation of the Irish Sport Horse breed. The stud's name was inspired by the unique Irish mountain hare, which is one of the country's only native mammals. Managed by Limerick natives and savvy horsepeople, the McAuliffe family, the stud operates a notable breeding program for Irish Thoroughbreds and Irish Sport Horses alike. After the track, many of our Thoroughbreds go on to lead illustrious careers in the sport horse world and are only used for breeding after proving they can conquer both the track and the show ring. Our line of Irish Sport Horses goes back generations and includes many notable producers and competitors.
