James Tonery

I met James and Ciara at the Equine Affaire in Massachusetts several years ago. We were instantly cronies and we chatted several times over the next few days. I never got to Galway. Covid happened and changed so many things. I'm sorry I never got to see James again. I'm so sorry that Ciara, his family and the horse world have lost this lovely person.

I am so very saddened to hear of James passing. Sincere condolences to Ciara and the Tonery family on your very sad loss. May James rest in peace 🙏

It is only by chance today that I found out James has passed away. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you all, I cannot believe that he is gone. Such sad news, deeply sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace James.

Ciara & all the Tonery Family,
I was so very sorry to hear about James’ passing. We often met at the Parks cross country over the years with the horses.
May he Rest in Peace.

I never met James but loved his videos about Bud & Buddy & especially when he was in Galway. We’d chatted online a few times about horses & hunting in Ireland,& since he wasn’t too far from me in Virginia I was hoping to meet in person.
Condolences to his family ..

So sorry and sending my condolences to all James’ family. Have followed him and his horses for a number of years. A great horseman who will be sorely missed

Condolences to his family. I enjoyed watching his videos and learning. I am fortunate to be able to photograph Titan every once in awhile. RIP.

Such sad news to hear James horses and his hunting posts were always a pleasure to watch and he often replied to any comments
Such a kind friendly face and a true Irish man and horseman
Rip James

A sad farewell to the kindest of men.

So sorry to see this, RIP James

Sad to hear of the passing of a great horseman who helped me on my journey back into horse ownership

Professor Tonery taught my daughter in the States, and she was absolutely devastated to hear of his passing. Devastated. He would inspire her daily and she looked forward to connecting with him and the horse world when she graduated. With the utmost deepest sympathy and may eternal light shine upon.

It’s very hard to put into words the impact James had. He was kind in his messages, made many friends and his love for horses shone through. So sad we never got to meet in person.

To the entire Tonery family, to all those close to him & to his many friends, please accept my sincere condolences at the passing of James.
As we all know, James led such a big life and he loved his family, close friends & his horses! He had so many stories to keep us laughing, engaged and learning.
He was a master horseman and excelled in so many endeavors.
May you find some comfort in the way he brought so many people together through the years and that he will always be so well thought of by those who got to know him.
I will miss him terribly.

Amongst angels and with God. We will see you again soon, James. My deepest condolences to Jedi, Ciara and the Tonery Family.

James was was a wonderfull friend and great support to me when I moved to Ireland and for all of the years to follow. He brought great memories and many many laughs along the way.

Sending love and well wishes to the Tonery family and all of James' many friends.

Sincere condolences to the Tonery family; we are so sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathies to you all on the loss of James, RIP. Thoughts and prayers with you at this difficult time.

My condolences to the Tonery family on Jimmy’s passing. I will always have fond memories of playing with him and against Jimmy on the Gaelic football field. His large frame, using his Rubgy skills on the Gaelic field and true sense of humour on and off the field made him a joy to know. RIP Jimmy

Sincere condolences to Pauline, PJ and family on the passing of James. May he rest in peace. From the McCarthy family.

James Tonery was my riding professor at Johnson and Wales my freshman year and he was an absolutely amazing guy. He was my favorite professor always cracking jokes and making me love riding even more. He truly made my time at college worth it. James always pushed me to be my best and challenge me in the best way.

My sincere sympathy to the Tonery family on the sad passing of Jimmy. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all the family.
James was an extremely kind, generous and caring person.
He was so passionate about horses and we learned so much from him.
Thank you for all the good times and we can't thank him enough for finding us our heart horses, Sierra and Mossey.
May he rest in peace.

Rest in Peace James. You were a true gentleman.

Deepest sympathy to PJ, Pauline and the extended Tonery family, also James's partner and son on his untimely passing.. May he rest in eternal peace..
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest...

My family visited Ireland for the first time in 2018. We were greeted by James and Willie and got a first class tour of Galway and the surrounding country. Fox hunting abroad was a life-long dream of my moms and getting to do that with James was the best experience imaginable. His knowledge and care for his horses was admirable. The meals and drinks the rest of the visit made us fast friends. We are so fortunate to have made a lasting friend of James. Meeting his family and getting to host him ourselves was also a treat. I don’t think anyone got as much joy from riding and watching other top horses perform as James did. I will hold on to these memories forever.

I am so sorry to hear of James’ passing. I never met him, but i thoroughly enjoyed his facebook posts. I started following him when a horse named Comanche came under his care, followed by the closure of his barn during covid, his move to the US, and then back to Ireland again. His zest for life and love for horses really shined bright. That he took the time to give us all a helmet’s eye view of his many fox-chases accentuated with his unabashed laughter really showed how much he loved life. He was such a positive, gregarious spirit who I admired. Sending my deepest sympathies to all his loved ones. Rest in peace, James.

My deepest sympathies for all James' family. I sadly never did get to meet him. Quite a few years ago now, James responded so very kindly when I was at a low point in life. He invited me to come and stay and to enjoy being around horses again. I have never forgotten his genuine kindness and am so very sad to hear of his passing. From north Bucks, England.

Sincere sympathy PJ Pauline & family on the sad passing of James may he rest in peace

I only met James once- when we took a riding excursion from Cooper’s Hill on holiday in 2017. However, James was so nice and genuinely cared about the horses - the whole experience inspired me to start riding again more regularly after decades away from it- bringing me a forgotten joy. I credit James for some piece of this joy. I followed his adventures on FBook after that day- he will surely be missed by many- but I hope he is hanging with his favorite horses up there!

James you were a great friend to me and I was so lucky to know you. I won’t forget the conversations on the porch or by the fire place, the trip to Virginia on Cindy’s farm, the swimming in the storm, and the daily winter swims. You have given me so many life lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Rest easy James

Got to know James through tourism in the last few years. I am in shock as he was larger than life and a great character. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. RIP James.

I’m so saddened by your family’s loss of James. While I never met him, we spoke on social media and I always respected his eye for horses and his love of training them. He will be be sadly missed.

Shocked to read the news today from one of James’s friends through Facebook. Met James a number of years ago through a course we did together. Immediately we became good friends. So sad to hear this news and wishing his family condolences at this sad sad time. May James rest in peace.
