The Coolmore Tradition
The Coolmore stallion tradition began in the 1850’s when Thomas Magnier started offering
breeders along the Blackwater Valley in Co Cork, Ireland, a stallion called Edlington.
And what he started is still being carried on today by his great-great grandson Tom in the
Hunter Valley. It’s a tradition of standing stallions of the highest quality and at the same time
offering breeders real value.
Coolmore Australia is located on almost 9,000 acres, including 5,000 of irrigated river flats
and undulating paddocks in the heart of the wonderful Hunter Valley. It’s land that has
been standing champion sires and producing champion racehorses for over a century,
is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and managed by a professional staff with decades
of knowledge of thoroughbred breeding from all around the world.
