Ciaran comes from an equestrian family; his father Frank is an international showjumping course designer and his mother Laura is a coach and dressage judge. The pair founded the Killossery Lodge Stud. His brother Robert competed at both pony and junior European championships winning pony team bronze and sister Sara won individual bronze at the pony European championships and competed to three-star.

November Night owned by Susanna Francke & Peter Cole is a 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare. Bred by Pat Doherty she is by the thoroughbred Bonnie Prince out of a mare by the Irish Draught Flagmount King. She was bought at the first ‘Go for Gold’ sale as a four-year-old (hence her name) and has been brought on since by Ciaran.

Ciaran says; ‘She likes her own space and hates dogs’.
