Kildare is an iconic location for horse breeding and racing. Not only renowned for its equestrian centers and stud farms, where the finest breeds of Irish horses are bred (including the famous Connemara pony), Kildare is also the HQ for horse racing fans!

The town is also very famous during the Christmas period, when it is customary for Irish people to go to “The Curragh Horse Racing Course” to watch horse races. Most of the city’s equestrian events are considered must-sees! Not only is it possible to attend races, but you can also take a behind-the-scenes tour, provided you request one in advance.
