OUR home and yard is based at PARC Stables, Co Clare and was established in 2004. The name is an acronym for our family of five: my wife Paula, myself and our family, Rhys, Coen and Scarlett. Here, just outside Ennis, we train and produce show jumping horses.

We have had a lot of success over the years producing, buying, selling and competing horses, which I suppose all began in my youth, when I won the Dublin 148cm B/C championship with a pony named Cheddar Billy. He was a good pony, but my dad PJ always had a nice pony.
