Museums and studs
Ireland has long had a close relationship with its horses and a love of all things equestrian is deeply ingrained in the Irish culture. See where it all began at one of the many excellent museums around the island, including the Irish Horse Museum at the National Stud, the wonderful Dartfield Horse Museum in Loughrea or at the Station House Museum in Clifden.
A wealth of artifacts and equestrian paraphernalia provide fascinating and informative displays, charting the history of the horse and its place in Ireland.
At the National Stud, you can find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about horse breeding in Ireland. There are also a number of very impressive smaller studs countrywide. With an enviable reputation as breeders of some of the world’s finest thoroughbreds, the equestrian fraternity takes great pride in the island’s status as the true home of champions.
