I come from a farming background, predominately cattle and sheep, in Athboy, Co Meath. We didn’t always have horses. Horses were my passion as I was growing up. Thankfully, my parents, Sean and Carmel Corrigan, eventually let me attend weekly lessons in Kells Equestrian Centre, which I looked forward to, until I eventually got my own ponies to keep me busy.

I run a school finance office full-time in Trinity College Dublin and spend any spare time on the farm. I bred from my first Irish Draught mare in 2016 and we have three mares and one yearling filly now.
