Ready For The National Hunt Season

With the National Hunt Season starting to get into full swing things are getting increasingly busy for me. This is always an exciting time of year as the three-year-olds are broken and riding out, and the older horses are back in from their summer break and ready for a new season. There is always a great air of anticipation and excitement in the National Hunt community as we wait to see what the year will bring and how the horses will develop! At the moment, I am primarily based with my father, Philip Dempsey, and also ride out for other trainers one or two mornings a week.
