My name is Barry Reynolds. I am
18 years of age, and I am from Co. Westmeath.
I started riding horses when I was about 10. I began to ride out in a local point to point
yard at the age of 14 and really began to improve in my riding. I knew from then on that I wanted to be a
National Hunt jockey.
Riding out here everyday you get to find out what you are doing wrong
and right, and are constantly learning new things. The afternoon classes aren’t too bad.
At the moment (of writing this piece) we are 12 weeks into the course, and we are doing a lot of
schooling and riding out on Maddenstown gallops. I really enjoy the schooling over the fences
inside, especially when Niall lets me ride Cane Brake! Overall it’s a great course and I am really
enjoying it.
