Ger Lyons grew up across the road from the late great Peter McCreery in Clane Co. Kildare. His love of horses started from the moment he opened his curtains in the morning and watched the string of horses passing. He worked for Peter at every opportunity throughout his school years. At the age of 20, Ger decided to pack his bags and head to America for some valuable experience. Carl Nafzger, one of the top trainers in USA, offered him a job as a work rider. After 6 memorable months, Carl found out that Ger was way over the weight criteria for riding his valuable 2yo's and sent him to UK to become a jump jockey!!
Having spent 4 years in UK with 50 winners to his credit, Ger retired from race riding due to a horrendous injury at Newcastle in 1989. He married Lynne in 1992 and headed back to Ireland to train horses. Ger has now been training successfully for 17 years.
