Kiltinan was established as a stud in 1982 by Magee and Ogden
White. In the ten years prior to 1993, the Whites had great
success both in the sales ring and on the race track. They bred
two group one winners, Sutton Place winner of the
Coronation Stakes and Ivyana who won the Italian
Oaks. They also won the Irish Oaks with Give Thanks.
In 1992 Kiltinan topped the Houghton Sales when selling
Falling In Love by Sadlers Wells ex Ivy
for 430,000 gns.
In 1993 all the bloodstock was sold in a
dispersal in which Ivy topped the sale for 450,000 gns and her
daughter Ivyana sold for 410,000 gns. Kiltinan’s
success during this period was all the more remarkable as they
never had more than seven mares on the stud.
In 1995 Andrew and Madeleine Lloyd-Webber
purchased Kiltinan following the death of Magee the same year.
Andrew had first seen the Castle when he attended the wedding
of his Racing and Bloodstock Manager Simon Marsh to Jane
Ponsonby. Jane’s parents live locally. Since they purchased
Kiltinan, the stud has been totally redeveloped bringing in
all the available land. Since first selling mares at
Tattersalls December Sales in 1998, Kiltinan has established
itself as one of the leading vendors, handling the dispersal
for Addison Racing in 2003. Success on the racetrack has
continued with the likes of Group 1 winner Tante Rose who won
the Haydock Spring Cup, Autumnal, Chiming,
Bourbonnais, Bay Tree,
Juliet, and Putra Sas who were all born
and raised at Kiltinan.
Kiltinan’s location is ideal for broodmares
visiting stallions based at Coolmore, Kildangan, Gilltown, The
Irish National Stud and other studs in Kildare.
