WEST Cork’s Skibbereen doesn’t just produce champion rowers - it’s got form too when it comes to horses.

Up for sale a few miles from Skib town, at Phohoness, Aughadown, is this home and equestrian property, which can claim a Cheltenham winner to its credit.

2019 Grand Annual Chase winner at Cheltenham, Croco Bay, was bred at this property (before having a fatal fall at Southwell the following year), and Thistle Do Nicely, another successful mount and race winner, foaled here in 2014. Their dam, April Thistle, is still an Aughadown resident at this spot, as good for horses as for humans.

Horses for courses
