Broodmare Selection & Sourcing

Helping breeders make informed decisions about the mares that will shape their breeding programmes.

Choosing the right broodmare is one of the most important investments a sport horse breeder can make.

Often, breeders approach me knowing they want to develop or change their breeding programme, but without a clear picture of exactly what they're looking for.

My approach begins with understanding your current breeding programme, long-term ambitions, preferences and budget. Through this process, we can establish clearer priorities and identify the qualities that matter most in your next broodmare.

Drawing on my own breeding experience and an established international network, I then help identify and evaluate suitable mares from trusted breeders and breeding programmes, including opportunities that may not be widely advertised.

Whether you're purchasing your first broodmare or looking to strengthen an existing programme, my aim is to help you make a well-informed investment that supports your breeding ambitions.

Stallion Selection

Helping breeders make informed stallion choices that support their breeding ambitions.

With so many stallions available and an overwhelming amount of information to consider, identifying the right stallion for a particular mare can be challenging.

My approach begins with understanding your mare, your breeding objectives and your intended market. Taking into account her pedigree, performance, strengths and weaknesses, I help identify and evaluate suitable stallions, considering both their individual qualities and the characteristics they may pass on to their offspring.

The aim is to develop a shortlist of stallions that complement your mare and support the longer-term direction of your breeding programme.

Event Hosting, Moderating & Speaking

Bringing people, perspectives and conversations together at equestrian industry events.

I work with event organisers, industry organisations and educational institutions to host events, moderate discussions, interview guests and deliver presentations on topics relating to sport horse breeding and the wider equestrian industry.

My experience includes hosting the RDS Breeders' Talk at the Dublin Horse Show, Wellington Breeders' Talk in Florida, and interviewing leading figures for the Army Equitation School Centenary Series.

Drawing on my background as a breeder and my international industry network, I aim to create engaging, informative conversations that offer genuine value to audiences.

I am available for event hosting, panel moderation, interviews and speaking engagements in Ireland and internationally.

Examples of previous presentations include:

Young Horse Sourcing

Connecting purchasers with promising young sport horses from trusted breeding programmes.

Through my own breeding programme at Quarryfield Farm and an established network of breeders in Ireland and mainland Europe, I help prospective purchasers identify suitable foals and young horses.

Whether you're looking for a future competition prospect or a young horse with particular bloodlines, I can help identify opportunities that suit your requirements and budget.

My focus is on working with breeders and breeding programmes I know and trust, helping purchasers make informed decisions and access horses they may not otherwise discover.

Connect, Select & Grow (CSG) is an international event series that brings together sport horse breeders, riders and industry professionals through networking, practical education and open discussion.

Each event is tailored to its audience, venue and partners, with the aim of creating opportunities to exchange ideas, build relationships and make more informed decisions.
