HAVING farmed all my life in Oranmore, Co Galway, and grown up with horses, I’ve always kept a few broodmares and show horses. We’ve had a long history of showing at the RDS, starting with Frenchfort Jennifer Rose who won first place in the in-hand Connemara pony class in 1997.

Over the past 30 years, we’ve consistently done well in the Irish Draught and young horse classes.
