Ireland's Olympic Show jumping medal winner, Cian O'Connor has asked seven-year-old James Cleary to train with him, based on a picture publish in the Irish Field. Aboard his pony, Little Paddy Brown, Cleary jumped a 1.40m Hague at a hunting party. "Most adults even didn't dare to jump that fence," states Cleary's father. On his Social Media O'Connor writes: Incredible photo of 7 yr old James Cleary in The Irish Field this weekend, showing great braveness, position and balance over a massive hedge. This kind of horsemanship is perhaps one of the key factors why Ireland consistently produces so many good riders!! If young James would ever like a bursary to come to train at Karlswood Stables he has one waiting??
