THE Brodericks firmly believe that there is no place like Ireland for producing young horses. Firstly, “the land and climate lends itself to horses” says Cheryl Broderick. Ireland’s limestone soils provide ideal grazing for healthy equine bone growth and Ireland’s climate is such that we do not suffer from the extremes of temperature experienced by many other countries at similar latitude.

This type of climate is ideal for training and working with horses. Global leaders in racing Coolmore have their base in Ballydoyle and Irish trainers such as Dermot Weld, Jim Bolger and John Oxx have all trained horses in Ireland to win at the highest level overseas.
