Inner Bay LLC takes pride in the raising and training of  youngsters in our breeding program and in attending to the needs of both long term clients and short term layover horses.  We are dedicated to the well being of the horses in our care, and providing peace of mind to the owners who have entrusted us to look after them.

Neil O'Connor  officiates regularly as a USEF / FEI jumper judge at such prestigious shows as the Hampton Classic, Pennsylvania National, Washington International, National Horse Show, the  Royal Winter Fair in Toronto and the Winter Equestrian Festival, Spruce Meadows, GCT Miami, Central Park, and the Royal Dublin Horse Show in Dublin.  His  assignments have included the FEI World Cup, and the Pan Am Games.  Neil is a native of Millstreet, Co. Cork Ireland where he worked at Noel C. Duggan's Green Glens Equestrian Center, the site of the Millstreet International Horse Show, which produced the Irish Sporthorse mare, Mill Pearl, ridden by Joe Fargis at the Seoul Olympic Games.  The connection with Fargis led to a temporary job on the Florida circuit that became a permanent move to the USA.  Member LIPHA, USEF/USHJA.

Anna O'Connor  was selected as an alternate for the 2016 National Training Session of the USHJA Emerging Athletes Program (EAP). As a junior she was President of her Junior PHA Chapter.  Trained  by Mary O'Connor and Joe Fargis,  her horsemanship skills earned qualifying scores at  the USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Finals for four consecutive years and an invitation to serve as a USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Ambassador.  In 2012, she helped to bring home a bronze medal as part of the Zone 2 HQC team.  At home in the saddle or the barn aisle, Anna is intuitive in her knowledge of horsemanship, always considering the horse's point of view.   Currently working at Salamander Farm in Middleburg after a year on the road and at home with Eight Oaks,  she is still a key part of our team, keeping the farm organized, pitching in where needed before and after work. ​​​
