MARE SYNDICATE INVESTMENT

The Irish National Stud (INS) Mare Syndicate offers unique investment vehicles and opportunities to join the premium end of the industry in owning, breeding and selling high quality bloodstock. Through a high calibre portfolio of mares and capped costs, we aim to lower the overall risk of bloodstock ownership. This structure is accessible, appeals to a wider network and is an attractive option equally for leisure or business investment.

Trends in the bloodstock market are showing that now, more than ever, there is a greater demand for quality in pedigree and physical stock. To meet this demand, the focus for the INS Mare Syndicate will be on the acquisition of premium mares, with strong bloodlines mated to commercial, high class and proven stallions. For the relatively small investment of €5,000, the Mare Syndicate allows you to partner in and build a portfolio of mares. By investing in the portfolio you are reducing and spreading the risk that comes with ownership of single mares, whilst partnering on mares that average 20 times that original investment price.

Every annual gathering of the Irish National Stud Course has been made up of moments of pure unbridled joy, these highlights that live with those of us who were fortunate enough to take part. This coming year, 2021, will mark the 50th anniversary of the John Clarke, John Osborne and Cathal Beale course. The continued success of our graduates bestows upon us a tremendous honour to have had a small helping hand in their progress. We also take this opportunity to remember those that have sadly passed away. They are always remembered fondly by their class peers and by the memory of their time at Tully. We look forward as always to welcoming the 2021 intake of 24 students from 7 different countries and we thank the multitude of people who have helped to establish the Irish National Stud as the oldest and largest network within the global bloodstock industry.
