I was 5 yrs old when I first started going to Clarina Equestrian Centre. I went for lessons with Mary on a Thursday afternoon. The pony I use to ride was a dun 128cm called Peter Pan although sometimes Mary would put me on other ponies not realising at time why this was done but now I know why.
Mary always pushed me to be better and that’s why today I have a Team Gold and Individual Bronze Showjumping European Medals, without the help of Clarina Equestrian at the start of my showjumping career this wouldn’t have happened.
My advice to any child that intends learning to ride you couldn’t go to a better place to start than Clarina Equestrian Centre.

Mary gave me the best start to my career. The foundations that she has installed in me are still valued to this day. Not only was she my first instruction, she was also my friend. Thank you for all you have done for me, I wouldn’t be who I am without you!

Many former students have continued into successful careers in the equine industry. One of Clarina’s former students is the Professional International Show jumper Paul O’Shea. Paul credits Clarina Equestrian centre for giving him the best foundations and practices of horsemanship which he has carried with him throughout his career to the current day.
I fondly remember my childhood time at Clarina Equestrian Centre. I used to spend every Saturday at the stables and getting riding lessons from Mary. Mary gave me a fantastic foundation and a great start at my riding career. I can still remember my favourite pony at the school a 14.2h bay gelding called Champ. Best wishes to Mary & Gillian and all at Clarina Equestrian centre.
