The previous post reminded me of a story an uncle told. One day my great Uncle Pat took my uncle to Madison Gardens to a horse show. While admiring the horses, a man came up to my great uncle Pat and asked him to warm up the horses as his trainer was delayed. The man recognized my great uncle Pat because he was a "famous" (according to the story teller) horse jumper with the Irish Army. These are the little tidbits that I have to go by in my research. Other information I have on great Uncle Pat's immigration was that "he jumped ship" when coming to America. My question is, does anyone have information on the history of horse jumpers with the Irish Army or can point me the direction to research?
