Horses have been synonymous with Mount Juliet Estate for over 400 years
A stewardship we are honored to continue to the present day with our state of the art equestrian centre.
From the outset with the Earl of Carrick and his life’s partner, Lady Juliet Butler.
To the following 150 years bearing witness to the varied fortunes of their heirs, seven Earls in total.
Through the turbulence of certain moments in Irish history informing a real and passionate tapestry.
To the flourishes and struggles that each season brought to the serene Irish landscape of Mount Juliet’s forests and her river trails.
Finding the restorative passions of Sir Dermot McCalmont, founder of what we know today as The Kilkenny Hunt, our neighbor just next door and seasonal partner in Hunt adventures, and the Ballylinch Stud, just across the River Nore, who we are honored to offer private, exclusive tours of based on donation.
Sir McCalmont’s impact was felt well beyond the once then 4,500 acres of Mount Juliet, extending to Thomastown and to Kilkenny, and to the political and cultural history of the entire country of Ireland.
Dr. Tim Mahoney was fortunate to take the McCalmont legacy to its next chapters.
Elevating Mount Juliet to one of Europe’s most desired destinations.
To our current Estate stewards, the empassioned leaders of Tetrarch, together with Marriot Bonvoy.
Finally, we would not be where we are as an equestrian community without the vision and dedication of the O’Hara Family.
Manny, Cathy and their sons had a vision for a greater future for Mount Juliet Equestrian.
One commensurate to the history and grandeur of Mount Juliet Estate.
What we share with our guests, visitors and livery community today is entirely a result of their investment and commitment to the equestrian world.
We are honored to shepherd their vision to an ever greater path forward. Together.
