Gina Sivyer (Heaps) has been involved in the Equine world for the past 45 years and has spent since 2005 studying a variety of different equine techniques including Tellingon Touch (TTOUCH/TTEAM), Equine Touch, Connected Riding and Ground Work, Energy Balancing. In combining all of these skills and teachings, in 2008, she developed the concept of developing an equestrian learning centre that would be the first of its kind in Europe. Thus, the creation of Equine Connect at Kiltannon Home Farm as a base to host Equestrian events at courses bringing in experienced trainers in all equestrian disciplines from the US, Canada, Australia and Europe, these events attract people from all over the world.

For those of you who want to take your horse on holiday with you Gina offers Livery at her purpose built yard including full sized all weather arena at Carragowar, Dangan, Quin, Co. Clare
