Coolmore Ireland 2019 Brochure

Breaking Every autumn yearlings raised on the farm and purchased at the sales are broken. Time, patience and experience are the vital ingredients required and at Coolmore we are fortunate to have some of the finest horsemen in the world. They are joined by a team of highly experienced riders from Ballydoyle when the time comes for the yearlings to be backed and ridden. The breaking process typically lasts between six and eight weeks, and everything is geared towards giving the horse a gentle and enjoyable introduction to what will become his new way of life. A horse’s experience while being broken will play an important part in shaping its attitude towards being ridden, and by extension towards racing.
