Born in 1977 in Cork Billy Twomey has had many successes and represented Ireland at many internationals.

Now based in Cheshire with a purpose built training facility Billy recalls a multitude of memories and victories in and around Cork - the talented rider crossed the Irish Sea to seek more experience. Training with Albert Voorn in Holland preceded a stint with Jason and Katrina Moore in Essex. His success on the national circuit did not go unnoticed and before too long, the popular rider landed a dream job, as stable jockey to Michael Whitaker "I was always striving to better
myself. To me, Michael was the greatest rider in the world and I wanted to be like him," said Billy. With the advantage of top horses to ride and compete, it did not take long for him to stand on his own two feet. Attracting outside rides on his own merit. Billy rented a yard from Marilyn Anstee, in Saxby. Leicestershire, and then, with the help and support of Sue and Eddie Davies and Simon Paul, he is now settled into the Davies’s ultra modern yard at Pewit Hall, Nantwich, Cheshire.
Through Marilyn Anstee, Billy was introduced to his present sponsor Sue Davies, who has bought many top class rides for Billy.
