Aidan is a fabulous Irish horse man with an incredible knack for
teaching all levels. He works with advanced riders to Beg. Novice
level. He has managed to take people who had difficulty with jumping
a cross rail to safely hunting some of Ireland's hardest hunts.

riding cross country SAFELY.
Aidan rode in the Grand National 3x times (steeple chase)and has
competed in Grand prix Show jumping. As well he has teaching video's

Here is a little Bio -
Aidan O'Connell has been riding since he was a child. At the age of
16 he began a serious career in show jumping, and trained with many
international instructors. He has competed Grade A (highest level)
show jumpers and was successful at all the major international horse
shows in Ireland, and won the Dublin Horse Show on his famous little
horse "Suntan".


In 1969 Aidan trained and rode his first steeplechase winner, and in
subsequent years went on to compete in over 150 races including the
formidable English Grand National at Aintree!

As a professional horse trainer, Aidan has had many successes in
Ireland and abroad. Some of his horses reached the highest levels in
their respective disciplines.

Aidan hunts almost every day of the season, both in Ireland and
abroad. He is continually schooling and educating young horses whose
futures may lie in the hunting, eventing or show jumping disciplines.
This is also the best way for him to find talented young horses for
his extensive overseas clientele.

Aidan has been able to develop a unique training program that
benefits all riders, from beginners and pleasure riders to the
serious advanced competitor. His clinics emphasize safety in the hunt
field and cross country jumping by improving balance and building
confidence.

Aidan teaches clinics in Ireland, Germany, and the United States.
Always in the public eye, Aidan is known for his keen sense of
fashion and style.

His instructional video "Crossing The Irish Banks" is well respected
as an invaluable training tool both in Ireland and abroad.
