Accompanied by our private Equine Concierge from Cashel Palace Hotel, guests will have the enviable opportunity to go behind the scenes and learn about the incredible history of these thoroughbred institutions.

Begin the day at Ballydoyle, taking in impressive vistas, the equine therapy centre and seeing the state-of-the-art gallops as if through the eyes of champion trainer Aidan O’Brien.
