Saturday with Niamh McEvoy: You’re working with animals so things can go wrong

Showjumper Niamh McEvoy, 20, works at Greg Broderick’s Ballypatrick Stables and will compete at the upcoming Dublin Horse Show 

I’ve been jumping in shows since I was about five but when you go to big shows like the Dublin Horse Show or the European Championships the novelty never wears off

06.30

Usually Saturday is show day. We have to be in the yard for 7am so I’ll be up at 6am/6.30am. I’m not a breakfast person so I’ll usually just have water.
