I’VE grown up with horses all my life on our family farm in Co Clare where my parents, Tom and Margaret Frost, bred mainly show jumpers and I’d do the show circuit during my summer holidays. When Des and I got married, I moved to Wexford in 1993. We started our sport horse breeding programme five years later when we took over the family’s Ballykelly Farm, the only blackcurrant farm in Ireland.

My career in international marketing led me to founding Good Food Ireland, the trustmark for premium local food and drink experiences of the island of Ireland.
