Ken Condon Racing Stables
Ken Condon Racing Stables is one of Ireland`s newest Training Yards, based on the Curragh, the centre of Irish Racing. This outfit is a fulfilment of a boyhood dream, through hard work, diligence and lots of patience.

He began riding at eight years old and twice represented Ireland at the European Junior Horse Trial Championships gaining the team Bronze medal at Rotherfield Park, England. For 5 years he was assistant trainer to John M. Oxx and before that spent time working in the U.S. and France for people like Coolmore, Mount Coote Stud, Lanes End Farm, Haras de Fresnay-Le-Buffard, Neil Howard (Trainer) and Todd Pletcher(Trainer).

Ken Condon Racing Stables Race Horse Ownership
The racing stable is geared toward recruiting people from different walks of life into Racehorse ownership, and all the excitements and disappointments that go into making the sport what it is. A chance to meet and interact with like willed people through a sport that tugs at both ends of the human emotions - joy and disappointment, winning and losing, success and failure, yet is constantly captivating and unpredictable.

And by this interaction through racing and all that goes with it might you find the basis for cultivating business contacts or long-term friendship and hopefully both.

To this end, most of my existing horses are owned by Syndicates, some with just 3 members and others up to 20 members.
