  • The Equine Industry in County Kildare
    T CHAPTER25 The Equine Industry in County Kildare I 'i I PROINNSIAS BREATHNACH and CHRIS VAN EGERAAT j ; 1 The Irish Equine Industry Horses have long held a special place in the hearts and minds of Irish people. As a result, the equine industry plays a role in Irish society disproportionate to its direct economic impact. This is not to say that the industry is of little economic significance. Direct employment in the different segments of the industry amounts to over 15,000 (in terms of full-time job equivalents), with .) perhaps a similar number involved in spin-off industries such as accommodation, transport, services and supplies. This employment is divided l fairly evenly between the three main industry components: the breeding of j thoroughbreds; training and racing; and sport horses (show jumping, eventing J and leisure riding).' The bloodstock sector (breeding of thoroughbreds) is undoubtedly the glamour end of the industry, because of the image of high-profile stallions such as the unfortunate Shergar and the enormous sums which are sometimes paid for the offspring of the sector at the yearling sales. In 2003 the fee for a single nomination resulting in a foal by Sadler's Wells, Ireland's top stallion, was almost €300,000. In 2002, 16,500 brood mares were kept on over 900 stud farms in the Republic of Ireland, although most of these were small one- and two-mare operations. This figure was up significantly from 14,700 just two years previously. In fact, there has been very substantial growth in thoroughbred horse breeding in Ireland over the last 35 years, stimulated mainly by the 1969 exemption from tax of the profits made from stallion nomination fees, which led to a major surge of overseas investment in the industry, especially in the 1970s.
