Career  Profile

 

 

Gloria competing in the Hunter Trials at Gurteen College

 

Name:  Gloria Nolan

 

Address: Co. Carlow

 

Completed Course:  2008

 

Progressed to Bachelor of Business in Equine Studies and completed in 2009.

 

Course: As I was interested in horses from an early age I decided to do this course to gain the knowledge and experience I would need to succeed in the equine industry.  The business side of the course was a huge attraction as I hope to set up my own equestrian business in the future.   Gurteen is a great place, I gained valuable experiences and skills which will assist me in my future career and I have made life long friends.

 

Work Experience: I have worked in Jessica Harrington’s racing yard in Co. Kildare and in Newmarket (U.K.).  During my time there I worked with top class horses as a work rider and accompanied the horses to the races.  I have also worked in stud farms and as a show-jumping groom.

 

Future Plans:  I have applied to do the Thoroughbred Breeding course in the Irish National Stud in Kildare  where I hope to increase my skills, knowledge and experience in the equine industry.  I eventually hope to start my own equine business at home.
