By incorporating and integrating a diverse array of primary sources from various repositories and supplementing them with contemporary and secondary materials, the main narrative reveals the intricate details of Ireland?s complex relationship with Britain through sport and politics. The publication adopts a chronological, thematic approach, beginning at the turn of the nineteenth century and tracing the development of the Stud through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. This book encompasses the political, cultural, and social dimensions of horse breeding/racing and the role of what would become the Irish National Stud. The first period of its history covers the establishment of Tully Stud in Kildare under Colonel William Hall-Walker in 1900. The second period, from 1916 to 1944, begins with Hall-Walker ?gifting? Tully Stud to the British government, which then rebranded it as the ?National Stud?. This coincided with the Irish independence struggle and the formation of the new Irish Free State, leading to over two decades of deadlock over which government?Irish or British?legally owned the Stud. The third period saw the progression of the new Irish National Stud, from its creation in 1944 to the present day, offering a comparison with the British National Stud and providing a thorough analysis of the influence of elite Thoroughbred breeders on the Irish National Stud and the broader industry in both Ireland and Great Britain. Declan Monaghan is a historian specialising in nineteenth -and twentieth-century Irish political, social and sports history. In September 2023, he received his PhD, focusing on the subject of this publication, from the Department of History at Maynooth University in County Kildare, Ireland. 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSports$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aSport History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aModern History 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aSport History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a941 700 $aMonaghan$b Declan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01822575 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007494503321 996 $aThe Irish National Stud, 1900-2025$94388856 997 $aUNINA
