David who comes from Enniskillen in Co.Fermanagh has a deep love for horses and enjoys working with them in hand and under saddle.  David intends to work in the equine industry and has progressed onto the Honours Degree from the Level 3 Horse Management programme to further develop his career.

David is extremely grateful to the Northern Ireland Horse Board for the opportunity to win the bursary and intends to use it to further his studies throughout his time at Enniskillen Campus.
