Typically the most senior hands-on role on a horse farm, the stud manager co-ordinates all duties from staff management to horse breeding activities. In addition to day-to-day tasks such as horse management, overseeing staff and client liasion, stud managers are also responsible for pasture management, the organisation of paperwork and budget co-ordination.
After many years experience working with mares, foals, yearlings and perhaps even stallions, the top job is to become a stud manager. The Irish National Stud course is internationally regarded as one of the top courses for aspiring young stud managers.
