Meet the trainees - Ronan Short



Hi my name is Ronan Short. I am 16 years old and am from Newtown Mt Kennedy Co. Wicklow.
My interest in horses started when I was 11 years old and I started doing lessons in a riding school on the weekends.  After a few years of lessons we got a couple of Ponies for ourselves and began hunting and showjumping.  I only became interested in racing when I began riding out for a friend of my dads who used to be a jockey and kept a few point to pointers in his livery yard.  I heard about RACE a couple of years ago and have been interested in coming here since. I got a trial week which was hard work but when I heard the news I got accepted I was delighted.  We are in our eleventh week now and the first group of trainees should be going out soon on workplacement.
