Welcome to the Bansha House Stables Website.

Bansha House Stables is based in Bansha, County Tipperary, between the towns of Cashel and Tipperary at the foot of the Galtee Mountains. We are privileged to be located on some of the best limestone land in the world for raising horses. 

Since starting his business, Con Marnane has become a major player at the European two-year-old-in-training sales. Con carefully selects yearlings in America, England, France, Germany, Italy and of course Ireland, and presents them as ready-to-run two-year-olds at the major Breeze-Up sales in Europe. 

Our aim at Bansha House Stables is to select a bunch of yearlings that have the athleticism, soundness and temperament to be top-class racehorses and the results have shown that we consistently achieve this. Since the 2005 season, we have produced no less than 10 Group/Grade 1 performers. Our results speak for themselves. Not only are our graduates sharp and well educated enough to race early in their two-year-old campaigns, our training regime is kind enough to ensure that they continue to thrive and enjoy success for many years after that. The best examples of this are perhaps two of our best graduates, Rio De La Plata and Fleeting Spirit. Having both made their racecourse debuts in June of their juvenile campaigns and performed at Group 1 level that same season, they were both still performing at Group 1 level as five-year-olds. To date Rio de la Plata has total prize winnings of £758,926 and Fleeting Spirit has won £695,549. This represents their prize money alone and does not reflect the increase in value of the horses from the date of their purchase. 

We are very proud of our horses and our fantastic team of people here at Bansha House Stables who work so hard to produce our continuous flow of Group and Listed performers. Our success is owed greatly to them without whom there would be no winners.

This year we have a very select bunch of 36 horses to be sold as two-year olds at all the major Breeze-Up sales in Europe and we have horses for every budget. If you have an interest in purchasing a potentially top-class racehorse, we extend to you an open invitation to come and view our consignment of horses for 2011. Our aim is to continue to produce high-class winners on the racetracks of the world. In 2011, it could be you!
