Stallions, mares, and foals – Horses are amazingly beautiful and this time we delve into the Irish National Stud - A government owned commercial breeding farm for top class racehorses, featuring two spectacular gardens, an experience centre and the retired ‘Legends’ of the sport, all within the 600 acres/242 hectares farm.

Today we are joined by David Wardell, Tourism Development Manager at the Irish National Stud & Gardens to talk about why the government owns a stud and how it all works and what you get to experience there when you visit.
