Jack de Bromhead’s family has paid tribute to their only son and “one of a kind child”.
The 13-yr-old boy died in a horse racing accident at the Glenbeigh races in County Kerry on Saturday night.
In a statement, the family said Jack was “not only the perfect, funny, loving son but also an incredible, loving brother to our beautiful daughters, his twin sister Mia and his little sister, Georgia”.
“He always had their back and was fiercely loyal and kind. Our hearts are truly broken.”
The jockey competed in the Rossbeigh Beach Flapper Races, a popular two-day event held each year in picturesque Co Kerry. The race event was cancelled after Saturday night’s accident.
