Kate Solon Eventing

Kate Solon Eventing Event Rider and Coach Kate was born in 1986 and grew up in Naas, Co. Kildare. She has an honours degree in Animal Science from University College Dublin.

she has been involved with horses from an young age and competed in a variety of disciplines throughout her early years. Upon completing her degree Kate decided to pursue her passion and work with horses full time. While completing her Instructor Traineeship in Thornton Park Equestrian Centre, Kate also spent time competing a number of horses with competition highlights including representing Ire

land on AIRC Showjumping teams, placings in the Royal Dublin Horse Show, AIRC National Champion and Festival winner. Kate travelled to the UK to compete in the BRC National Championships, which her and the Irish Team succeeded in winning, and stayed on in the UK to further her BHS training. Here she worked with Rob Lovatt and Tim Downes in Ingestre Stables. It was here that Kate's passion for Eventing began to overtake her previous interest in Showjumping. After completing her Stage IV exam Kate spent some time managing South Staffordshire College Rodbaston Equestrian Centre. She has recently returned to Ireland in order to concentrate on developing a career in Eventing. Her dream is to compete in Badminton someday and to represent her country at International Level.

First party for Luna - and apart from getting her feet a little stuck at the top of the hill the rest wasn’t too bad 🤩

Successful first day out of crèche for the two four year olds. Luna slightly more excited than Mattie to be having her photo taken!!!
Luna is by Mermus R and out of a Bahrain Cruise mare, and Mattie doesn’t need any breeding recorded cause he’s a total dude regardless of who his parents are 🤩

Said a very sad goodbye to a special chappy recently but thrilled to see Harvey getting on so well in his new home in the UK already - finishing 4th in his first event. Well done Georgia! Exciting things to come for these two and can’t wait to follow their progress.

The three boys headed to Grove last weekend, for our last event of 2018. Ringo and Druid both jumped double clear with a few time penalties xc due to an over cautious jockey! Harvey had an unlucky pole in the jumping and was v exuberant xc so took it very handy and got a mountain of time penalties but v happy with how he went. The plan is to keep going with some dressage and jumping over the winter and looking forward to next season already.
Huge thanks to Laura and Eimear for trusting me with their mega horsies, Equus Pix for the lovely photos and to Nicole for all her help last week 🤩

Headed off to Clyda at the weekend for my first event since falling and Harvey was a total champ finishing on his dressage score to win the class and give me my first ever Eventing Ireland win. Totally over the moon and couldn’t have done it without Emma who was an amazing help as always. Thanks to Laura for looking after Harvey when I was out of action and fantastic physio Anthony Raleigh for getting me back in action way ahead of schedule. 🤩

Great day with the two boys in Annaharvey today. Ringo did a super dressage in the EI90 , had the last fence showjumping and jumped a great cross country round to finish in joint 6th, Harvey was a little fresh in the dressage but made up for the exuberance by jumping a lovely double clear and finishing in fourth in his first attempt at EI 100. Huge thanks to Emma for all her help, and to wonderful owner Laura for all the constant support

Harvey starting to be a real grown up in Coilóg on Sunday. Thanks a million to Brian Geiss for the lovely photo :)

This time last year I was the only crazy one in the club eventing. Yesterday I had three amigos with me and the Greenhills team finished fourth in the National Championships. Delighted to have such great friends and teammates there, and very proud of how well they all did. Daisy jumped her socks off finishing on her dressage score in fourth place in the individual section, and Harvey was a complete dude in the young horse section, unfortunately jockey had a sat nav issue at the second last and jumped it backwards. Thanks to Kilguilkey for another super event. Can't believe the season is just over!
