About the Farm Holding

The Achadh an lúir Stud farm is mainly based around Connemara ponies, where the Morgan Family breed and produce these amazing animals. The Connemara pony is the only native Irish breed of pony, they are renowned for their kind nature and ability. On the farm, there are 6 breeding mares and stallions that keep all their offspring until they are 4 years old. The Morgans also train them to ride and compete in jumping competitions.

They love to fuss over our ponies from a very young age as this helps with their training.
