Story so far
My passion is strength sports and I love teaching it. Showing people that the fitness industry doesn’t have to feel like a task, it can also be fun to be apart of. I love showing people that the body can adapt to anything and immense amounts of pressure when it’s controlled.
I was diagnosed with a skin disorder on my feet which is called Epidermolysis Bullosa meaning any cardio done through running and walking isn’t an option. I have to do it through weight & high intensity training. This disease create a huge amount of pain that I am able to push through. I use the pain as a motivation to push me harder and harder and for that reason pain is second nature to me, so I know I will be the best it’s only a matter of when not how.

The Story so far
Catriona of BLF Sport Horses is a highly accomplished showjumping rider, competing on the national showjumping circuit. She focuses on the production of young horse through the age classes where she has had great success.
Along with working as a primary school teacher, Catriona is running a busy sport horse breeding programme, which is now bearing fruits as the first horses bred are making their mark in the sport. Catriona is balancing all this along with being a new mother, so it’s vital she keeps her body in peal condition.
Achievements
Winning the final of the 7 year old Horse Sport Ireland Studbook Series was a real highlight as it was on a horse produced by Catriona from the start. This horse is the foundation mare for the breeding programme.
