Ed, the son of trainer Bryan McMahon, started his career at about 2
years of age when placed upon his father's horses that were being
trained at the time. Being brought up with them from such an early age
meant that by the time he was 11 years of age he was riding work on a
regular basis. After leaving school he worked as Bryan's assistant
trainer and also rode as an amateur having just over one hundred rides
and thirteen successes under both National hunt and Flat rules.
Ed was assistant to his father for over 20 years so he gained a
vast amount of experience prior to taking out his licence. In his
first five years of training he has amassed over £900,000.00 in prize
money with wins in Group & Listed races. Indeed 2010 was a bumper
season with Temple Meads & Astrophysical Jet both winning Group races
impressively.
Bryan had his training facilities at Woodside Farm, but in 1994 the
opportunity came to purchase Horsley Brook Farm near Lichfield. In the
first instance the gallops were installed and fields turned into grass
gallops, whilst over the next few years the Listed barns and cow shed
were converted into stables, with further facilities still being added
to this day. It is a fantastic set up & one with which we are
delighted to be associated with.
