I’m used to riding horses. My father used to breed horses when I was a child. I grew up in Tipperary, in the country, and lots of people have horses there. If my parents hadn’t been in the business, we would have them anyway, as pets. And my cousin Richard is a jockey. Kerry Condon Read Quote

The best jockeys do that really well, and know how much to push. Kerry Condon Read Quote
