Kildare: National Stud Farm

Here's a picture of the astrolabe at the National Stud Farm in Ireland (unveiled for the Queen's visit)! The guy who started this farm believed that horses that could see the moon and stars were better racers, so all his stables had skylights! He also matched horses for breeding based on their astrological signs. He was wildly successful. We saw Invincible Spirit, who has sired many winners in Europe.
