Eat. Sleep. RACE. Repeat 🫶
From the driver’s seat to the saddle!⚡️
Top touring car pilot Max Hart is participating in Saturday’s Pat Smullen Charity Race for Cancer Trials Ireland at the Curragh. He enjoyed a final tune-up on our simulator with Classic-winning rider & jockey coach Niall McCullagh. Max only started riding in January whereas Niall rode his first winner 40 years ago! 🤯
Donations are open for Max & all riders. Follow the link to support this very worthy cause: https://bit.ly/4qG9Dow

Happy retirement to Maxine O'Sullivan! 🫶
She bows out with over 40 winners on the track, a Cheltenham Festival winner with IT CAME TO PASS, 80 P2P successes & seven P2P Champion Lady Rider titles 🏅
Maxine is a key part of our Junior Academies & is a great role model for any young rider. Best of luck with the next chapter 🍀
Jockeys may be light but they can lift heavy! 💥
Jordan Gainford is continuing his rehab from injury & hit an impressive PB today under the instruction of our coach Wayne Middleton.
Jordan is a multiple G1 & Cheltenham Festival winner & aims to be back in the saddle for the coming season 💪
Coming on in leaps & bounds! 🤸
Just Day Two of our Rider Improvement course & the group enjoyed a schooling session with coaches Niall Byrne & Paul Keating.
Some great jumping & our incredible horses never put a hoof wrong 😇
