HARTWELL Stud has been involved in the equine industry for over 50 years. Based in Co Kildare, the stud was established by David and Mary McCann, who, in the 1970s, began breeding and producing Connemara ponies and Irish Draughts crossed with the thoroughbred.

We have always been strong believers in the Traditional Irish Horse [TIH] and have always strived to produce horses to the highest levels and in breeding some of the best traditional Irish sport horses in the world.
