MEADOW Court Stud on the Curragh in Co Kildare has been sold.

The 200-acre stud farm was placed on the market in April 2015 by owner Eimear Mulhern in a bid to downsize and focus on a smaller breeding operation.

After breeding from Meadow Court Stud for 26 years, Mulhern, who is the chairman of Goffs, purchased John Oxx’s former yard, the 110-acre Kilnagornan five miles away, last year and moved her stock to the farm.

Mulhern confirmed to The Irish Field this week that the stud farm has been sold to an overseas client.
