Philip, who is a BHS Accredited professional coach, is the owner of Maddybenny and actively runs the 120-acre farm. He has vast experience in equestrian activities both nationally and internationally and first competed at the RDS in Dublin in 1963 and indeed competed there again many times up to 2017. Philip also competed internationally for Ireland in Eventing competition from 1973 up to 1994.
He began the stud farm in 1988 and has bred many competition horses for both show jumping and eventing including the diminutive Portersize Just a Jiff who competed with Camilla Spiers on the Irish Eventing team in the 2012 Olympics and who was reserve on the team for 2016 Olympics. Philip has show jumped several of his own home bred horses and was Amateur Ulster Region Champion in 2017 on Senate Hill
Fiona is the yard manager at Maddybenny and is a qualified HSI coach (stage 2). She has competed in show jumping competitions for many years both on her own and on Maddybenny horses and was the Amateur Ulster Region Champion in 2018. Fiona has been teaching for several years, all age ranges and abilities up to competition standard. She also has vast experience in training and schooling young horses.
Tegan, daughter of Philip and Eavan, first sat on a pony at the age of 1 and has been addicted to horses ever since! She started in Pony Club aged 4 years old and went on to represent the Route Hunt Pony Club at the UK Championships, represented Ireland in the Junior European Show Jumping Championships in Germany, and more recently switched to Eventing and represented Ireland at senior level in Nations Cup Championships in Boekelo, Holland.
She is currently producing young horses for show jumping and eventing and campaigning her 4* event horse Texan Style (another home bred horse!)
We offer individual and group lessons to all equestrians on their own horses and we take in horses for schooling.
Arenas available all year, 7 days per week and cross-country course available weather permitting. Riding Clubs and Pony clubs can hire the total facilities for training courses and camps from Easter to October.
