Where did your interest in racing and bloodstock come from?
My interest came from my parents. My father always kept a few National Hunt broodmares and my mother’s side of the family were into horses. Back then in the 50s, we started with work horses and breeding some half-breds.
I got married to Mabel in and we bought a thoroughbred mare for € but she wasn’t a great broodmare. We always had one or two that we’d breed out of and then we’d sell the young stock.
We started keeping some to run on the track but we had a family then so racing was put on the back burner for a while. Once the kids were reared we’d try to keep some fillies to run them and then keep those for breeding if they won.
Our eldest son, George, lost his life in He travelled the world working with horses in Australia and America. When he came home he was working for Norelands Stud and he put up 14 stables on the land at the back of our house and he managed to fill the stables with mares from various breeding operations in his first year.
He put up 14 more stables and managed to fill them again! They were mostly flat-bred mares coming from France, they’d come in November and he’d foal them down and then they’d go to be covered by Irish sires. He worked his way up to having about 50 mares.
