Sean Monaghan: Horsemanship, Coaching and Irish Tradition
Description
This week, we’re coming to you from the iconic Dublin Horse Show, where we had the chance to sit down with Irish rider Sean Monaghan.
Now, if you’ve never been to the Dublin Horse Show, let us tell you—it’s so much more than just a show. The atmosphere is vibrant, the arenas are world-class, and the mix of ponies, elite riders, and rising stars makes it truly one-of-a-kind. Families, fans, and even those who aren’t deeply involved in the sport gather to experience the magic. Sean described it as ‘absolutely phenomenal,’ and after experiencing it firsthand, we can fully understand why it holds such a special place in the hearts of so many. The energy is unmatched, and if you haven’t attended yet, it’s an event you simply have to see for yourself.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into Sean’s incredible journey—from growing up in a racehorse family to building his own show jumping business and mentoring & coaching Ireland’s future talent. At just 24, he’s already made impressive strides. He’s also a graduate of the Young Riders Academy, a program we’ve touched on before with some of our other inspiring guests. Sean shares his thoughts on starting his own venture, his dedication to horsemanship, and the importance of patience in achieving success.
