Darragh Kenny
Darragh Kenny is an Irish equestrian who competes in the sport of show jumping.
He competed in his first Grand Prix at the age of 14. He qualified for the Dublin Horse Show where he won a training bursary to work with Missy Clark and John Brennan at their North Run Stables in Warren, Vermont in 2007, which brought him to America to compete at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. Under Clark's guidance, Kenny was given the rides on Obelix and Gael Force, horses that he qualified for his first FEI World Cup Finals on and continued to campaign at the highest level including representing Ireland in Nations Cup events.
In 2012, Kenny founded Oakland Ventures LLC, a business covering his riding and training of clients. Kenny was partnered with Hyperion Stud through 2019.
In 2021, Kenny made his Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games. He and his mount, VDL Cartello placed seventeenth in the individual competition.
On 24 July 2024, Kenny and VDL Cartello replaced Bertram Allen as Ireland's travelling reserve rider at the 2024 Paris Olympic games.
