I loved working at Diamonds!! Loads of fun with the girls, lovely trekking horses and the cheeky ponies! I'll definitely go back to beautiful Connemara. We were very well cared for and felt part of this hard working family!

After 9 months of working for the Diamond’s all I can say is how grateful I am for the amazing opportunity they gave me. I have learnt so much working at Diamond’s Equine, I have learnt about Connemara ponies (which is an amazing performance breed may I add) breeding, riding and how to manage a yard in a safe way. It has been an absolute dream working for them, I have enjoyed riding amazing Connemara ponies, do the trekking during the summer (which was amazing to meet so many different people and go riding on the beach with safe horses for both children and adults), and assist during the artificial insemination. The people that I have worked with have been so nice and obviously the family just makes you feel so welcome. Special thanks to the girls, Priscilla and Talitha, whom I have learnt so much from and had such great laughs and chats about ponies, and Breege, who has always made me feel part of the family. And special thanks to the stallions: Poetic Kelly, Ice and Fire d’Albran, Silver Shadow and Clifden Silver, it has been a great honour to take care of such amazing ponies. Never a dull day around the yard! And let’s not even start talking about the views, everywhere you go it’s just stunning! A job definitely suitable for people who enjoy the countryside and love horses. I will always cherish my time here at the Diamond’s and will surely be coming back, even just for a visit! I just want to say I wish them the best of luck in the future where I’ll hopefully be able to be part of it. ♥️♥️
