SINCE slipping into eventing’s hot seat less than three months ago, Ireland’s new High Performance Director Sally Corscadden has hit the ground running. In the past few weeks, she has traversed the globe from Kentucky, to the World Equestrian Games venue at Tryon International, USA, and on to Badminton, and her manifesto for success is clear. Her enthusiasm and determination for the task ahead is infectious, while as the first Irish-based resident to hold the job since the inception of Horse Sport Ireland, she will be at the hub of the sport at every level.
Leicestershire-born Corscadden hailed from an avid hunting family, and first arrived in Ireland to compete at Punchestown back in 1988. It was there that she met her future husband Brendan, and within 12 months moved over permanently to reside in Co Meath.
