World famous Co Kildare stud expanding facilities

Kildangan Stud near Monasterevin is expanding by adding a new shed for storing farm vehicles and hay.

The 1,500 acre facility is famous for horses such as Shamardal (pictured) who was guided to top Group One victories by veteran jockey Frankie Dettori.

Godolphin Ireland Unlimited has applied to Kildare County Council for planning permission to build a single-storey extension to the existing farm vehicle storage building at Kildangan.

The works will also involve the construction of an underground slurry storage tank and landscaping.
