Irish National Stud & Gardens

Irish National Stud & Gardens

5.0/55 Reviews
Open today at 09:00-18:00 (admission ends at 17:00)
juki235:“Ireland is one of the birthplaces of world-famous horses, and the Irish National Stud Farm is the place where world-famous horses are produced. Each horse here has its own separate building and is raised by a separate person. All they have to do every day is to gallop freely on the vast grassland, or sleep and eat grass. It is really very free, and the treatment is better than that of humans.”
