Originally from Limerick, he built a long racing career before training in his own name, including many years with Nigel Twiston-Davies, where he became head lad and assistant trainer. Since moving to Ravenswell Farm in 2019, Fergal O’Brien Racing has developed into one of the leading National Hunt yards in Britain, with a strong reputation for winners, owner experience and a positive, people-focused stable culture.
Fergal O’Brien Racing trains from Ravenswell Farm in the Cotswolds, close to Cheltenham. Completed in 2019, the yard was developed under the supervision of Fergal O’Brien and Sally Randell and offers some of the finest training facilities in the country. Facilities include a four-furlong gallop with an Andrews Bowen surface, a three-furlong deep sand round gallop and an all-weather schooling strip. The wider setup is designed to give horses high-quality daily care, training variety and the best possible preparation for the racecourse.
Fergal O’Brien is an established Grade 1-winning National Hunt trainer. His first Grade 1 success came with Poetic Rhythm in the Challow Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury in 2017, while other major highlights include Crambo winning the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot in consecutive years and Sixmilebridge winning the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase. The yard has become a regular top-ten presence in the National Hunt trainers’ championship and has trained well over 500 winners in recent seasons.
