BASED in Libgate, Kilmore Quay in Co Wexford, we have bred Irish Sport Horses on a small scale for many years, always having fewer than 10 horses in the yard at once. We’ve always had an avid interest in the hunting field, which is where the majority of our horses end up excelling.

Breeding horses began for us when we had a mare called Castlebanny Barbie (Grange Bouncer x Forties Field), which we had bought into the yard. The famous late Jack Lambert of Grange Stud covered the mare, unknown to us, and when we started to realise she was suddenly getting bigger and not smaller, he let the secret slip what he had done!
