Earlier this month, I rode my first winner on the track when Kings Jet won a hunter chase at Down Royal. To be honest, I always knew that I wanted to be a jockey. That had been the plan for as long as I can remember.

My dad was still training in Pollardstown on the Curragh when I was born. Not too long after, we moved to Copper Beech Stables outside Kildare. Myself and my older brother Josh always had ponies when we were younger. We got into pony club and show jumping after that. Mam and Dad were very good to us, taking us all over the country to different shows and competitions.
