of our world-class facilities
World-class race horses come from state-of-the-art facilities
Set in the picturesque location of Owning Hill near Piltown in County Kilkenny, Carriganóg Racing is headed up by Joseph O’Brien and is based in a yard that is steeped in racing history.
Gallops
The centrepiece of Carriganóg’s training facilities is the woodchip gallop that is seven furlongs (1400m) in length, six metres wide and rises over 80 metres from start to finish.
Horse Treadmill
We have numerous rubber-matted horse walkers attached to each yard which are used daily.
Equine Spa
Carriganóg Racing has two equine spas to aid with the recovery of any injuries or ailments that may occur while training or racing. The spa uses ice cold water mixed with Epsom salts to maximise recovery times.
Schooling
We have extensive schooling facilities for the horses ranging from baby hurdles and fences up to fully-specified racecourse-standard hurdles and fences. As well as having schooling facilities on grass, we also have an all-weather schooling strip with four hurdles and three fences. In addition, we occasionally take our horses away to school at racecourses.
