BALLYGILL Stud is located just 4km outside Ballinasloe, on the Roscommon-Galway border. My late father Martin purchased the land in 1987 and built the stud farm up from there, while working as the Manufacturing and Engineering Manager in Square D in Ballinasloe.

Dad always had a lifelong interest in all types of horses, from Irish Draughts, Connemara ponies, sport horses and thoroughbreds, while also keeping suckler beef cows and sheep.
