Aoife is currently a member of the Irish High Performance Squad and
has had a super 2010 season with her top two horses - The Lily White
Syndicate's Master Crusoe and Henrietta Duchess of Bedford's Vaguely
North - both going extremely well at Blenheim CCI*** and qualifying
for Badminton CCI**** 2011. There were 7 clear rounds inside the
optimum time cross country and Aoife rode 2 of them, finishing 6th
on Master Crusoe and 14th on Vaguely North, adding to her tally of
top ten results at three-star level in 2010, alongside great results
at Chatsworth and Tattersalls. For further 2010 results

She went on to graduate from University College Dublin with a 1st
class degree in Maths and Classics – in the same year finishing 2nd
at Necarne CCI** on Wood U Retreat – a horse she had just ridden for
5 weeks and on whom she went on to complete Bramham CCI*** 2003.

She receives training from Sarah
Ward on the flat along with benefitting from Irish Squad
Training from Ginny Elliot, Ferdi Eilberg and Michael Quirke.
She is competitive, focussed and determined to achieve every
goal she sets herself, and works hard to make sure attention to
detail is paramount and each horse is treated as an individual
and given the time it deserves. She is always looking for new
owners and sponsors to join the team, be it at an individual or
syndicate level, so if anyone is interested in becoming involved
please contact her. |
