AS I begin my internship with the ITBA Next Generation, I couldn’t imagine a more fitting first placement than at Rossenarra Stud near Kells in Co Kilkenny, under the guidance of John McEnery and his daughter Fiona.

During my time at Rossenarra, I am learning about preparing yearlings and foals for the sales, as well as the meticulous art of showing young horses to the best of their ability.
