About Model County Sport Horse
and Alex Donohoe
​
Alex’s love of horses started with a birthday present from her aunt. She began her riding career at 8 years of age and soon after got her first taste of eventing, going on to represent Ireland at Junior and Young Rider European Championships.
Since then, Alex has gathered a long list of accomplishments including winning the HSI combined training final in 2019 and being a part of the Horizon 2020 Squad.
​
Alex has built Model County Sport Horses on the fundamentals that every horse is treated as an individual and their care is the top priority.

Meet The Team
“What do I love about my job? The freedom; working outdoors is where I am at my happiest. The challenge; each horse is unique and has their own characteristics, so it can sometimes take a bit of time and thinking outside the box to get them onside. The rewards; once you crack that and get them onside the trust and partnership you have with a horse is unrivalled.”
