Originally from Cork in Ireland, Shane Sweetnam comes from a family of horsemen and began riding at the age of five. After obtaining a degree in computer science, he decided to devote his career to horses. In 2004, he moved to the United States to take up a job with Olympic rider Margie Engle. After years of competition and success, he and his wife Alison decided to open Sweet Oak Farm, a training and boarding centre in Wellington, Florida. At the end of 2021, the Irishman discovered a certain CSF James Kann Cruz, an ISH by Kannan bred by the Connolly family, one of the best horses of his generation. He has taken part in several Rolex Top 10 finals and was European champion in Gothenburg in 2017.
