The National Stud Tour includes a stop at the Foaling Unit and Nursery Paddocks which allows guests to see the mares and foals and spend some time with them.

You also get to visit the superb Stallion Unit, with the opportunity to see the stallions in their paddocks . Seeing these magnificent animals in the flesh is a sight to behold. The National Stud is home to the likes of Aclaim, Time Test and Rajasinghe. Horseracing fans may remember their exploits on the track and now get to see them enjoying their new roles.
