Over 30 Irish stallion farms are set to welcome visitors for the ITM (Irish Thoroughbred Marketing) Irish Stallion Trail, which is taking place on Friday January 12 and Saturday January 13, 2024.
In what will be the tenth edition of the trail, breeders, racing professionals and racing fans will enjoy the opportunity to view many of the world’s leading Flat and National Hunt stallions at a wide range of Ireland’s breed-shaping stallion farms.
In Tipperary, these farms will include Coolmore, Fethard; Kedrah House Stud, Cahir and Springfield House Stud, Knock, Roscrea.
The ITM Irish Stallion Trail is a completely free event. Visitors are simply asked to register which studs they intend to visit via the ITM website.
Visitors are then free to visit the studs at the time of their choosing within the studs' advertised opening hours. Please note that due to demand, it is mandatory to register for a specific date and time slot if planning to visit Coolmore Stud.
For further information and to register, visit www.itm.ie/stalliontrail.
Further studs wishing to participate in the ITM Irish Stallion Trail can contact Alex Cairns at acairns@itm.ie or +353(0)87 791 5690.
