The National Stud
The National Stud
is a
United Kingdom
Thoroughbred
horse breeding
farm located two miles from
Newmarket
. The Stud originated in 1916 as a result of a gift by
William Hall Walker
(later Lord Wavertree) of the entire bloodstock of his stud farm in
Tully, Kildare town
in
County Kildare
,
Ireland
. As part of the arrangement, the British government acquired the Irish property along with Walker's training stables in England. In 1943, the
Irish
Government took over the Tully property and the
Irish National Stud Company Ltd.
was formed. The Irish bloodstock was then transferred to the Sandley Stud in
Dorset
. The stud's operations were expanded after the
World War II
with the purchase of a stud at
West Grinstead
in
Sussex
.
