Coolmore/China link will go ahead next year

An insufficient amount of grazing land means the movement of thoroughbred mares from Coolmore Stud to China will not now take place until next year.

The twenty in-foal mares were to be shipped to the far-east as part of a €38 million deal set to boost the Chinese equine industry.

However the mares will now be moved to North Cork to foal – they and their foals will then be shipped to what is being described as a “Horse City” in Tianjin next year along with another 20 mares.

At that stage the issue of a lack of sufficient grazing land for mares in foal will have been addressed.

The project, which was announced by the Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney during a trade mission last April, is seen as a major vote of confidence in the Irish horse breeding industry and particularly in the world renowned Coolmore Stud.
