My
name is Mark Mooney and I’m from Tralee, Co Kerry. I have always had a big
interest in horses since I was the age of 8. I learned to ride in a riding
school which was great fun and used to compete in local show jumping events and
hunting on the weekends which I used to love.
After a couple of years of show jumping and hunting I formed a massive
interest in racing. When I heard about the Racing Academy from a past student I
knew I wanted to come here.
Leading up to the trial of RACE, I asked a
local trainer from some experience in the racing industry. From there I gained a bit of experience in
the industry and ended up getting my place in RACE.
In the weeks I’ve been here so far I’ve
learned loads and I can’t wait for the next 30 weeks to come.
