Irish Equestrian Mental Health Project

The Irish Equestrian Mental Health Project was formed in 2021 by Sonya Mc Aleer, an equestrian coach and show-jumper, following her own personal experience with mental health issues. After identifying a need for a support network that addressed the challenges specific to the industry a committee was formed. This consisted of like-minded equestrians from all walks of life who shared a common vision, and so the IEMHP was born. Our aim is to remove the stigma associated with mental health, by providing training and a support network for all equestrians from your leisure rider to your elite sportsperson, to become better equipped and informed thus giving them the ability to take control of their own mental health and well-being. We will re-enforce how important our horses are to boosting mood and promoting a positive, happy healthy lifestyle. By highlighting the negative effects of bullying and negative behaviour within the sport we strive to improve the community and challenge what is accepted as “normal”. Due to the isolated nature of the sport we aim to create an inclusive space where everyone can feel equal and have their voice heard without fear of ridicule. We provide training and support on mental health and mental well-being. We can point you in the right direction of getting help from other mental health organisations. Work on removing the stigma around about mental health and reminding everyone that its okay not to be okay! We strive to give people the confidence to reach out, talk and ask for help.

Millstreet

The name “Green Glens” is derived from the title of a favourite song of Noel C’s – “The Green Glens of Antrim;” an appropriate title for the exquisite setting located in Millstreet parish, in the barony of Duhallow, in the County of Cork, in the heart of Munster!

In 2014, work started on the construction of a state of the art Cross Country track on the grounds of the adjoining Drishane Castle. The appointment of internationally renowned designer Mike Etherington-Smith created great excitement ahead of the hosting of the 2014 FEI European Championships for Ponies which received global acclaim. The following year, the venue went on to host its inaugural International Horse Trials at CIC (short-format) level. The event attracted riders from 7 nations and riders and their connections were full of praise for the new 2* and 3* courses that had been added to the existing facility.
