Heather Lemmon

Grade 2 Paradressage rider

My name is Heather Lemmon and I'm an International Grade 2 Paradressage rider. My horses name is Freya and she's really the star of the show! We're gearing up for our second season of international competition and are on the long list for the Paralympics.

I'm a huge perfectionist when it comes to turnout for a show (which is tough with a grey) and always believe you need good products. With my disability I often snap bands but since we started using Glas Equine plaiting bands we have been so impressed. They not only rarely snap when plaiting but Freya's plait can stay in for a few days when we stay away!

Really excited to be working with a local sustainable brand we trust.

Rachel Kyne

Showjumper

“Hi my name is Rachel,

I’m a full time student in UCD studying food and agribusiness management and I have a small team of show jumpers to keep me sane while studying!

I am based at home in Ballymadun, Co. Dublin. My mam is a super help and is the main reason I can continue to compete while in my final year. We currently have 10 horses from young stock to my first 12.2 pony with 4 competing and two new additions to the lorry soon.

In 2024 I hope to have a successful year building on all the work from the 2023 season. Follow along our journey @ballymadunstables to stay updated on our adventures.”

Hi, I’m Thomasina. I’m a show rider, love dressage and train riders on the flat as well. I have 4 connemara’s and an ISH mare as well.
 
I have enjoyed success with Camille (Rosscon Camille) with wins in Dublin and Clifden as well as throughout the country. I love riding side saddle on her particular. We also competed in dressage together in Hickstead.
Aoife, (Copperbeech Aoife) my second girl won a number of dressage championships at regional level, and on her first day out inhand went Supreme Champion last year in Slane. I have 2, 4 year old mares Heather (Flower of Roo) and Margo (Teresa’s Delight) both were shown inhand last year.
Heather was 3 yr old All Ireland Champion amongst her other wins. I am very much looking forward to working with them as they begin their ridden careers. Lastly is Angel, my broodmare who has produced 3 beautiful foals for me over the year.
