Head Trainer
Ciaron Maher
Don’t let the laid-back demeanour fool you, under those curly locks lies a fierce will to purchase, train and race the best horses in the country.
Assistant Trainer
David Eustace
Since joining the team in mid-2016, David has proved the perfect foil with his intensity and meticulous nature balanced against Ciaron’s more relaxed style.
Head Foreman
Ian Gilcrist
In an industry where early starts and long days are the norm, Gilly’s work ethic and dedication to the horses still stands out.
Pre-Training Manager
Justine Hales
Justine brings a wealth of experience and success to running an integral part of the system – Pakenham’s pre-training facility.
Stable Team
The Stable
Gilly runs a tight ship as Head Foreman but nobody knows our horses better than the track riders and ground staff.
Communications Team
Annabel & Brian
It’s not a prerequisite that your communications team can ride track work but it certainly helps.
Breaking & Schooling
Adrian Corboy
Patience, flexibility and individuality – Adrian’s philosophy on horses aligns perfectly with Ciaron’s.
Pre-Training>
Pakenham Farm
The Pakenham farm might be a nice little break for the horses but Ciaron employs the unique method of having all his horses do dressage when at the farm and the results speak for themselves.
The Farrier
John Bunting
There’s no more important part of a racehorse than its feet and our horses are in the safest of hands with the best farrier in the business.
Support
The Support Team
The growth and success of the stable is in no small part to our team in the office who work tirelessly to provide the best possible experience for our owners.
