I’M based in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow. We run a busy family farm, where we keep sheep and manage a livery yard that stays full year-round. My own day-to-day is fairly split; I spend a lot of my time producing young horses and coaching riders, and I’m also a show jumping course designer. I find that these roles really go hand-in-hand.

My breeding journey really started through getting involved with the Teagasc Irish Young Breeders. That programme was the best start I could have asked for, because it teaches you to look at a horse properly - not just if it’s flashy, but how it’s built and how it moves.
