CONGRATULATIONS to Christy Flynn who recently retired from his position of stud groom at Derrinstown Stud after 32 years working there. Christy has been involved with horses from the time he left school.

The family moved to Moyglare Stud in 1963 and Christy worked mainly at preparing the yearlings for the sales in Ireland, England, and France. In 1980 he went to work for Captain Tim Rodgers at Grangewilliam Stud. It was from there in December 1984 that he moved with his wife Mary, sons Damian, Eric, Christopher, and daughter Sonya to take up his position as stud groom at Derrinstown Stud.
