Hi
All,
I'll be at the Galway Racing Festival
all this week but unfortunately I won't
be riding after being stood down for 21
days following my fall in Killarney a
couple of weeks back. I'm sure I'll see
some of you there! We have a stand at
the RDS for the Royal Dublin Horse Show
from Wednesday the 6th of August to Sunday
the 10th, where we'll be selling a selection
of my racewear. Hope to see some of you
there too!

Hi
All,
My new range of riding out breeches have
arrived. Check them out on the Racing
Wear page. Summer is here. The hunters
are out to grass and I now have only one
horse in, which I am retraining to go
eventing. Racingwise, everything's going
well with a few doubles over the last
week. I'm looking forward to the Killarney
festival next week and hopefully there'll
be a few winners for me during the week.

| Introduction
by "Hector" ... |
 |
Theres
no better a sight in any sport than the
competitor competing in full flow, in full
speed , confident in their ability and patient
in their tactics, racing like a lot of sports
is all about speed and stamina and tactics
come into play an awful lot of the time. |
|
| When
I first saw Paul Carberry in the saddle what struck
me was his instantly recognisable saddle posture
refined down to a tee after years and years of
pony racing and hunting. Almost aerodynamic in
shape he seemed to be at one with the animal beneath
him , hugging in behind the mane , in the slipstream
waiting ready to ask his mount to go and win her
race . Whats more and Paul knows this is his instantly
recognisable backside cocked high and mighty into
the air , higher and mightier than any other backside
in racing today !!!!. |
| Its
this style added to his genius like knowledge
of horses that sets Paul apart from the
rest ,its his attitude and love of the game
that to me and to thousands of others makes
him one of the finest jockeys we've ever
produced, and when you know him personally
its his love of life , the smile , the sense
of humour that sets him apart from the chasing
pack . |
|
|
| I
will never forget Harchibalds win with Paul on
board at Kempton on the 26th Dec 04 in the Stan
James Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1) almost 35 lengths
down to none other than the great Rooster Booster
coming around the final bend, ,not once did he
panic , not once did he take to the whip , just
a shake if the reins and a confident "Come
on then" in his finest Meath accent and Harchibald
reeled him in and cruised on by to victory. It
was a feat no other jockey in my book could have
tried or even attempted to pull off , it was plain
and simple the genius of Paul on a horse happy
in himself, primed and ready run ,and when you
get that combination its odds on that the man
from Rathfeigh will be coming back in to the winners
enclosure !!!! |

| Where
and when did you start racing ? |
At
the age of 16 I rode in my first point to point.
At that time I rode out for my Dad and he gave
me the ride on a gelding, Joesph Nibb, a horse
that had won a number of times on the track. The
horse performed again and on my first ride I scored
my first win. |
|
Most memorable sporting moment to date
?
|
| Personally
by far it has to be the English Grand National,
it was a dream I held from being a youngster and
to date is still my greatest achievement and to
win on a horse trained by my Dad made it extra
special. |
|
Watching Nina go up the hill
in front of me to win on Dabiroun at the Cheltenham
Festival in 2005 – her first win in Cheltenham, she was brilliant.
|
| Worst
sporting moment ? |
| At
Naas riding a horse called ‘Sallys Girl' in
a novice hurdle, I thought I had another lap to
go, I received a 10 day ban. |
