THE latest addition to the Horse First stable of sponsored riders is Belfast’s Edel Quinn, a Grade III para competitor who is in training with Ireland’s development squad.

The new brand ambassador started riding at the age of six and rode borrowed horses until buying her own when in her early 20s. Following a riding accident, Edel took a few years out of the sport but came back against doctors’ orders and soon developed a passion for dressage. She competed in her first unregistered test in 2015 and was then encouraged to join Para Equestrian Ireland.
