Linacre House Stud

A family run stud farm with significant success in the past few seasons.

Linacre House Stud is owned by James and Lisa Kelly. During his time in the business James has been directly associated with breeding over 250 individual stakes winners worldwide. James has also directly purchased over 50 individual stakes winners.

Both James and Lisa have an excellent eye for a filly and broodmare and they have a strong record of purchasing inexpensive stock that go on to excel on the track and as broodmares. You are invited to browse our stock of horses and perhaps invest in an animal that takes your fancy.

Where we differ from everyone else is that we charge zero commission on purchases and let investors buy in at the actual cost price. We invest ourselves in every horse therefore investors are getting our expertise and experience for zero cost. We also have a zero management cost. Our upside is your upside i.e. the investment has to make money for it to be profitable for us.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Our History

Our History 
Linacre House Stud is a stud farm with significant success in the past few seasons, run by husband and wife team, James and Lisa Kelly. Linacre House is situated in the glorious Co. Kildare rolling countryside.

“We have been involved in various mare partnerships with James and Lisa for some 6 years. We have seen very strong investment returns with one mare showing a profit of over 200% over 4 years. More importantly to us, however, is that the whole experience has been massively enjoyable. James and Lisa really involve us in the partnership with regular updates and we have attended many sales together combined with stud visits. They are two of the most honest and honourable people we have worked with and on numerous occasions they have put the interest of their partners ahead of their own. They have become very close friends and we look forward to continuing to work with them for many years”.
