Karen Kelly

Karen is the principal Stud Hand at Pigeon Park Stud and works for us on a part-time basis. She has a lifelong interest in horses and has gained experience working on stud farms and with sport horses. She is intent on building her competencies further as she works with us at Pigeon Park.

                        Lauren Kiely

Our relief workers are a vital cog in the operation of Pigeon Park Stud. Lauren Kiely provides occasional relief work throughout the year. Her interest in and involvement with horses goes back to her pony club days. Student Eimear Burke also provides occasional relief work and both girls are more than capable of filling in on the farm.

                     Kevin Foley 

Ex-Meath and multiple All-Ireland winning footballer Kevin Foley provides expert veterinary services to Pigeon Park Stud. Kevin has considerable experience and skill in equine reproductive management. Thanks to Kevin, the veterinary support for our breeding operation and for the general health of our horses is top class. 

                      Mark O'Toole

As our farrier, Mark O'Toole is one of the more regular visitors to the farm. From the oldest mare to the youngest foal, foot care and correct limb development are essential components of our equine husbandry. Regular visits by a dedicated farrier such as Mark ensure continuity and quality in this regard.

               Paul & James Giles

Paul Giles prepares and consigns progeny from Pigeon Park Stud to the bloodstock sales. He has been consigning under his Moyfinn Stud banner for many years and there are none more dedicated and skilled at the job than Paul and his nephew, James. In addition, both as neighbour and friend, Paul has been an invaluable support to us at Pigeon Park Stud.

              The Kennedy Family

Finally, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the contributions of family members, wife Rosemary and son's Cian and Evin, to the development and operation of Pigeon Park Stud. Their occasional constructive criticism is as valued as their timely hands on assistance! Certainly, we would not be where we are without their unwavering support.
