Yearlings
Airlie's yearling division, Kilmacredock Stud, is located approximately one mile from the main farm. Each year after the yearling sales are finished, the next batch of foals that are either to be sold or retained the following year are moved to Kilmacredock. This will be their home for the next eleven months where Ken Murtagh and his experienced staff will give each animal it's own individual attention. Preparation for the yearling sales usually starts eight weeks before each sale, however, some yearlings need more time due to their physical makeup. Airlie consigns at most of the major european sales.
Foals
All mares foal at the stud's foaling unit where the conventional "night man" system is employed. We believe there is no substitute for someone on patrol at this busy time in the stud year.
The foals development is carefully monitored from birth with regular inspections when notes are taken in addition to the daily checks.
As the stud sells anywhere between one third to one half of the foal crop each year, close attention to progress is most important.
Our Broodmares
Sonia and Anthony are always on the lookout for potential broodmares. Each year all sales catalogues are looked through for families or branches of families they wish to acquire. This can be a painstaking process, requiring much patience. While they remain open minded in assessing any potential acquisitions, the principal of the four P's, Pedigree, Presence, Performance and Price proves to be time and time again the most important factor in reaching the final decision. Some mares residing at Airlie at the moment were bred here, some were bought as foals, yearlings and as broodmares. The list below contains some mares that have resided at Airlie over the years and have been some of the most successful producers of racehorses.
