Current manager at The Marquis of Granby, New Cross. Responsibilities include managing staff, maintaining stocks and equipment, providing excellent customer service.

I come from Portnoo in rural Donegal on the west coast of Ireland. I was brought up on a 300 acre livestock farm where we rear suckling cattle, sheep and breed Irish sport horses and ponies. Growing up here I developed a passion for animals, especially horses. My family specialises in breeding show jumping ponies, many of which are competing on national/international circuits – please feel free to check out Lackaghmore Sport Ponies on facebook. This will also give you an insight into my upbringing.

I am experienced in handling young stock, schooling and breaking of 3 / 4 year olds, stud farming, animal husbandry, riding (includes road work, beach work, hacking, show jumping).

I have also assisted younger family members and family friends with their own progress in riding. I believe I am capable of encouraging and motivating all ages to grow in confidence and develop horsemanship.

Member of the British Horse Society and a current share-holder/owner with Horse Sport Ireland.
