Sinead Murphy
Sinead Murphy was of our riders from 2012 through 2013. Sinead loved to ride and her favorite horse was Amigo. Her bright eyes and warm smile brought joy to everyone at the barn each time she came for lessons. Sinead’s concern for others, including the horses, was always greater than her concern for herself. Sinead would have loved the indoor riding arena, she was very sensitive to weather conditions and couldn’t ride in heat or wind. Aside from the happiness that riding brought to Sinead, she also gained improved core strength, fun time with her sisters who would often volunteer, and quiet moments with her beloved Amigo.
For many years, scholarship donations were available to several of our riders in memory of Sinead. Sinead will forever ride within our hearts.
Many thanks to the Murphy family.
