MY first real involvement with horses was messing around in Jimmy Foley’s yard in Ballycommon. After school, I worked in The Great Northern Hotel, then back home in Nenagh, I worked in Proctor & Gamble’s finance department. For the past 16 years, I’ve worked for Irish Rail. I’ve met some of the best people along this whole rollercoaster ‘horse journey’ since I bought my first horse from Andrew Younghusband.
