REIS GOES (IRISH) NATIONAL

Reis Fleming is poised to forego summer togs in favour of thermal underwear by heading to Ireland in January.
The son of Eliza Park principal Lee Fleming, Reis will undertake an equine diploma course at the Irish National Stud after his current stint in the stallion barn finishes in December.
Having worked in every facet of farm life (“except foaling”), Reis has had his hands full with a very busy 11-stallion roster this spring, but is looking forward to the new challenge.
“I start at the Irish National Stud on 31 January and the course runs through until July,” 21 year old Reis explained. “I’ve been lucky enough to experience nearly all aspects of stud operations, but this is a wonderful opportunity to enhance my skill base and look at breeding from a more global perspective.”
