Equine Experiences at Cashel Palace

Discover Ireland’s Thoroughbred Country

Equine at Cashel Palace

Cashel Palace’s dedicated Equine Concierge helps guests discover County Tipperary’s celebrated thoroughbred and equestrian heritage. From guided visits to Coolmore Stud and carefully curated experiences around Fethard Horse Country to exclusive racing itineraries and horse riding, each experience can be shaped around your interests and stay.

In the Heart of Tipperary’s Horse Country

Horses have played an important role in Irish culture for centuries, but in County Tipperary that connection remains especially visible today.

Cashel Palace lies within a landscape internationally associated with thoroughbred breeding and racing. The Magnier family, owners of Cashel Palace, are also closely associated with Coolmore Stud, located within Tipperary’s renowned horse country.

That heritage gives the hotel a natural connection to the region’s equine story. Through a programme of carefully selected experiences, guests can go beyond watching racing from afar and discover the farms, people, horses and traditions behind one of Ireland’s most celebrated industries.
