Exclusive Tour of the Irish National Stud

June 27 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm

€100

Accompanied by a member of Senior Management you will travel through the entire farm and learn how these majestic animals are managed from birth until retirement.

Begin the day by an introduction to the Studs founder, Colonel William Hall Walker and learn the part he played in shaping the grounds in the 1900’s and the unique ways he bred successful thoroughbred racehorses. Enjoy refreshments in the exclusive surroundings of the Stud Boardroom and view the historically impressive Gift to the State book.

From here you will be escorted to our Stallion area and introduced to our impressive roster of successful Stallions, you will be treated to a private stallion parade where you will see one of our champions up close.

After the stallion parade it’s on to meet our wonderful mares and foals together and learn how the farm operates on a day-to-day basis.

Following this meet the iconic living legends team, a group of retired National Hunt champions that live at the Stud, household names such as Hurricane Fly, Beef or Salmon, Faugheen and many more now live a peaceful retirement here and enjoy the adoration of their many fans who come from all corners of the globe to see them.

After this it’s time to immerse yourself in our award winning interactive Irish Racehorse Experience and join in the fun of owning, training, and riding your horse to victory.
