FOR as long as he can remember, Andrew O’Dwyer’s two greatest passions have been education and horses, and he admits to feeling incredibly fortunate to have built a career that allows him to combine both. These two main interests led him down the path of firstly attending Kildalton College, gaining his BHS coaching qualifications, and then training to become a secondary school teacher.

While these might seem like two distinct roles, according to O’Dwyer they complement each other hugely. O’Dwyer’s work in the classroom sharpened his ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively, while his experience as a coach honed his ability to adapt to the needs of individuals with varying levels of experience and confidence.
