LOUISE Lynn is an interior designer originally from Roscommon and living in Dublin. A regular racegoer more often seen in her finery on a race day socialising with friends and family at the races than in breeches and a skull cap. Louise is regularly photographed in glossy magazines and social columns attending racing and show jumping events alongside her sister, famous Irish milliner Martha Lynn.

Louise studied Property Economics in Scotland but switched to study Interior and Furniture Design at DIT for four years. Her creativity didn’t stop there, Louise also studied Production Design for Film and Television and has established herself as a leading interior designer.

Commenting on The Corinthian Challenge Charity Race Series, Louise said; “I am really excited to be participating in this year’s series. For as long as I can remember I have loved horses and I have hunted, showed, competed in amateur eventing and side-saddle. Over the years, I have become aware of the Irish Injured Jockeys with my involvement in racing, and it will be a huge honour to contribute to this great cause, as well as challenging myself.”

Unfortunately, Louise took a heavy fall at the Curragh on Sunday and was lucky to have only sustained minor injuries. She will be out of the saddle for a few weeks but should be right as rain for the next race in Cork. Like so many of our brave jockeys, she was very positive even after the incident commenting “onwards and upwards, I’m looking forward to the next two races already!”
