WE are based in Bishopslough, Bennettsbridge which is roughly 10 minutes outside Kilkenny city. I had great exposure to the show jumping industry from a very young age through my father Jim, who put some top-class ponies through his hands and which I was very fortunate to ride.

Thankfully, with a lot of hard work and help from everyone around us, this progressed into competing at Nations Cup-winning level. We’ve gradually built up a very good reputation at also producing horses up to five-star and championship level.
