This is such devastating news & im truly sad to hear of Jean’s passing. I pass on my condolences
to her family.
Jeane was an incredibly talented and dedicated horsewoman, I knew her when I was young growing up in Skibbereen, as a budding jockey Jeane took me under her wing and shared her knowledge, I couldn’t have had a better mentor to share her love of horses.
I am truly sorry for your loss
My condolences to Jean’s family. I have lots of memories of our hunting days in Ireland with the West Carbery Hunt. She had a great pony and I loved when she would let me ride him. Happy to see she was still involved with horses.
So sad and devastating news for all the family. Condolences from Garry Minihane and family Skibbereen former neighbours in Skibbereen.
Matthew she was a force of nature. I loved her way with her horses and her real ness. It has been a few years but she will always be fondly remembered. My prayers are with you.
Sincerest condolences from the Myers Family, Monroe

So very sorry to hear this. I remember us riding at Lissard House in Skibbereen, Co Cork over 40 years ago. Such a live wire. Just loved her horses and glad to see this photo of her. Many condolences to all her family and friends.
We send our love to Matt and Jean’s mom/Family. She was part of our Knockeen family…. a special person who always put the horses first. I use to worry so about her being around the horses with her asthma but in the end she had her way and battled through. When I told Dick about her passing the tears ran down his cheeks and he couldn’t talk. She will remain in our hearts forever.
Sincere condolences to Jeans husband & the extended Hurley family.
I knew Jean back in Skibbereen many years ago.
May she Rest In Peace.
