‘A once in a life time opportunity’

“Monday morning started with a short walk from the hotel to McKee Barracks where we were introduced to Col Denise Byrne who looked over our shoulder for the week. A quick tour of the facilities settled the nerves before our first lesson with Lt Col Tom Freyne, followed in the afternoon with a jumping lesson with Lt Charlene Kehoe. Both lessons allowed the horses to relax into the busy Dublin atmosphere and for the trainers to see our strengths and weaknesses.
