Ennisnag Stud Ireland

ir passion for showjumping has been passed down throughout the Hughes and extended family and over the years. It has resulted in champions as Gowran Girl who won a Gold medal in the 1960 World Championships for Raimondo Dinzeo and Radar, Harley and Special Envoy who between them have won no fewer than 16 Grand Prixs for another family partnership of Nelson and Rodrigo Pessoa.Other champions to come from the Hughes stables were Vivaldi who won a Hickstead Derby, Royal Charmer who won as many as 38 International classes for Markus Fuchs and Diamond Exchange who was ridden by Jessica Kurten to win a World Cup qualifier in Millstreet in 1992 and two Grand Prix in Mechelen and Helsinki. All of the above mentioned horses were bred and ridden in their early years by the brothers Seamus and Andy Hughes respectively who have now passed on the mantel once more to the next generation. Ennisnag Stud is a family run stud offering world class bloodlines, quality progeny and a wealth of experience in the sport we love . We believe that world class showjumpers are bred by “breeding the best to the best”. By selecting mares descendant from proven lines which have demonstrated consistently high performance on the world stage we increase the chance of producing young horses with the physical and mental attributes to be elite showjumping prospects
