WE live in the townland of Clonmore, near Moate and have been involved in breeding both Irish Draughts and Connemara ponies over the past 20 years. My day job is a butcher and wife Nuala works in admin in a local college.

Nuala’s family had a background in Irish Draughts and I decided that, after a lifetime of playing football for my native Moate All White and later Castledaly GAA teams, I would pick up a new hobby and interest.
