About
Damien is a horse trainer from Ireland whose horsemanship is based on physical and mental balance. He has worked professionally in the industry for over a decade, throughout the UK and also spent a number of years in Australia working with a variety of horsemen to expand and improve his trade. During his time there he competed and was Reserve Champion of The Brumby Challenge 2018. A wild horse training competition much akin to the Mustang Makeover in the USA.
Having experience in a multitude of disciplines from show jumping, endurance, racing, working stock horses, camp-drafting, trick horses and everything in between, he takes pride in being non-discipline specific. No matter what the horse’s job they need to learn to go forward, back, left and right softly and with confidence. Everything else is built upon them being able to do those things.
Based in Linton-on-Ouse, just north of York, England, Damien takes horses in on training livery, sales livery and provides lessons as his yard to help with solving a problem, starting from scratch or just improving your horsemanship.
