MARGUERITE RYAN is probably best known these days as mum to talented young rider Jack Ryan, but long before her son hit the dizzy heights of European Championship teams, Marguerite was riding, breeding and owned lots of successful horses and ponies.
“I suppose my first big interest in horses stems back to our local village horse show. At the time, it was one of the biggest in the country; Inistioge Horse Show ran for three days over the June bank holiday weekend and riders came from all over the country to take part. We had the privilege of watching all the top riders – Paul Darragh, Con Power, Eddie Macken on the brilliant Boomerang – and many more right on our doorstep,” said Marguerite.
