Mike has been riding Icelandic Horses since 1994, and has had training from Maaike Burggrafer from Holland and Magnus Skulason from Sweden. Mike definitely has the pace bug and it was through his desire to learn to pace that Mike met Magnus. He has represented Great Britain numerous times on different horses in different disciplines and competes in Europe as much as possible.

When he’s not riding his horses, he is running the farm which includes sheep and chickens.

  1. Dear Mike, I hope all is well on Connegar farm, I have stupidly mislaid your contact number and found you through your website. I need to pay you for the wonderful Top Reiter suit that my mum loves, especially as it has turned rather cold. I can either pay you in money or trees totally your choice.
    Thanks again for the suit you gave me I am never out of it, look forward to hear from you soon, please let me have your number if you email, many thanks Eyre.
