MARY Tyner is from Kinsale, Co. Cork where, together with her beloved husband Robert, she trains National Hunt and point-to-point horses. Mary works like a Trojan every day so getting fit for this challenge wasn’t as difficult as it might have been for some of her fellow Corinthians.

She spends each morning riding out, preparing horses for the races, bringing horses to the races and somehow also keeps on top of a very busy home where she and Robert live with their five beautiful daughters. That’s enough to keep anyone fit as a flea!
