My Story

Residing in Claregalway, I have dedicated much of my life to working in various yards and being surrounded by horses. I started hunting at the age of eight with the Galway Blazers and took part in several seasons of pony racing across the west of Ireland. My father has a history of training point-to-point horses, and I have two brothers, Jamie Kyne and Daniel Kyne, who have held racing licenses.
In 2009, when my brother Jamie passed away, the Irish Injured Jockey Fund provided invaluable support to my family during that challenging time. They helped us with flights and accommodation, which made a significant impact. I've always wanted to give back to them, and as this event is the charity’s highlight of the year, I'm excited to get back fit and train for the race and to help raise as much as possible for the charity. 
I would also like to thank Monaghans Galway for sponsoring me for the race.
