Mary Motion joined McMahon & Hill Bloodstock in 2025 as Director of Business Development, bringing a strong background in both training and bloodstock to the team. In her role, she oversees client and partner engagement across Bourbon Lane Stable and McMahon & Hill’s various racing and ownership ventures, including partnerships, pinhooking LLCs, and single-horse co-ownerships. She is also an active member of the bloodstock team, assisting with research, purchasing, and sales, as well as helping manage horses in training.

​

Originally from Virginia, Mary grew up immersed in the Thoroughbred industry and was a steeplechase jockey throughout her teenage years, developing an early, hands-on understanding of horsemanship. She has since worked for some of the sport’s most respected horsemen, including her uncle, Classic-winning trainer Graham Motion, Christophe Clement, and international bloodstock agent Chad Schumer. She has also gained valuable international experience working for leading trainers and farms in England, Australia, and New Zealand.

​

Most notably, Mary spent time in England with Oliver Sherwood during the training of Grand National winner Many Clouds. In Australia, she worked with Ciaron Maher, where she rode multiple Grade 1 winners in the mornings and played an integral role in helping manage the stable. This global perspective, combined with her experience in both racing and sales, gives her a unique understanding of the ownership journey, from selecting horses at auction to managing them on the racetrack.

​

As the main point of contact for current and prospective partners, Mary is dedicated to providing clear communication, hands-on support, and a personalized experience for every client. Her goal is to make Thoroughbred ownership more accessible while upholding the quality, transparency, and results that define McMahon & Hill Bloodstock and Bourbon Lane Stable.
