Meet the trainees - Dylan Shaw



My name is Dylan Shaw.  I am 16 years old.  I’m from Donaghmede, in north Dublin.  I have had an interest in horses since I was about 6 and hadn’t got much experience.  I got my first horse when I was about 11 and ever since then have had horses.  I have only had experience riding bare back and never rode with a saddle until I came to RACE.
 I heard about race about 3 years ago and ever since I heard about it I have wanted to go.  When I got picked I was over the moon and was really excited to go.  I’ve only been here 15 weeks and have learned so much.  I’m looking forward to going out to yards for experience.
My favourite rider would be Johnny Murtagh and I would love to be up there like him in the future. 
I am really enjoying my time at RACE, it is a great experience and I look forward to the great opportunities that await me in the near future.
