Coolmore Brochure 2018

the long view Conscious that we are custodians of some of the world’s finest land, we manage it with an eye to the long view. Trees take time to mature, and have a lasting effect on the landscape and environment. But their importance to a stud farm is not all about aesthetics, as trees also provide horses with shelter from the winter wind and rain and shade from the warm summer sun. Over the years, thousands of trees have been planted at Coolmore. Today, 50 acres are dedicated to nurseries growing native Irish trees, primarily Beech, Oak, Lime and Acers. The nurseries also stock some non-deciduous evergreen specimens which will help to provide additional shelter during the winter months. Coolmore, enhancing the countryside for generations to come.
