My Racing StorySponsored By Tote
I'm from a place called Ballymore just outside Mullingar and am from a farming background. We were always farming when we were young, and playing football and hurling. An English lady called Clarissa Crowl came over to live near us at home and she would hunt horses. We started to help her out and she taught us how to ride in return. My twin brother, Joseph, and I both started riding and hunting there, and we enjoyed it. It all sort of built from there. It was a great grounding as she was an English lady that came over to hunt and she did things properly. Everything stood to us from dress code to producing the horses properly, and doing everything right in relation to stable management. That has stood to us the whole way through.
