GALWAY show jumper Stephen Moore has set up his own business, Rockmount Equestrian, after 12 years working under the Oakland Stables banner for Darragh Kenny.

The 34-year-old, who hails from Claregalway, has established himself as a successful rider up to five-star level, as well as an accomplished trainer, which culminated in guiding Israel’s Teddy Vlock to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The name, Rockmount, comes with a long history. Rockmount was established in 1972 by Stephen’s grandfather, JJ Moore, as a riding school, training centre and show facility on the outskirts of Galway city.
