Ballymoyle Stud Farm & Livery on the Wicklow Wexford Border

Welcome to Ballymoyle Stud Farm and Livery Yard,
situated on the border of Co. Wicklow and Co. Wexford

Ballymoyle Stud Farm & Livery opened in August 2002 and is owned and managed by Alex Moores.

Being a horselover, I spent all my school holidays (nearly 10 years) helping out in an equestrian Centre in return for riding lessons, gaining a lot of experience about horse care. I knew the horses would be my fate. After doing my Leaving Certificate, I went to college to qualify to "British Horse Society" standards (BHS). After completion I returned to the equestrian Centre as a qualified instructor in horse riding.

After 2 years there, I felt it was time for a change and I accepted a job offer as groom with a Polo team. This brought me across Europe for 4 to 5 months. After our return I became manager of the yard were I also gained experience with sport horses.

At this stage I purchased my very own horse.He was 2½ years old and 15.3 hh.

Now he's nearly 7 years old and 16.3hh. He has hunted, showjumped, competed in dressage and showing classes and has won many rosettes.

Now I felt there was time for change again and I decided to look out for my own place. I spent 2 years searching for the right property, until I found a green site in 6 divisions which later became "Ballymoyle Stud Farm & Livery Yard".

I started to build sheds, 4 stables and a 20m x 20m sand arena. Since then we have extended the arena to 40m x 40m and added an additional 12 stables.

At present we are breeding 3/4 breds, Sport-horses and TB's.

Some of which are destined for Polo, Polocrosse and Showjumping.
