Housed in Fethard's 17th-century Tholsel (town hall), this museum traces the role of the horse in Irish history and culture, from military steeds and plow horses to horse racing and stud farms. Exhibits also explore the history of Fethard and the surrounding region. Twice weekly in summer there are guided tours of nearby Coolmore Stud (adult/child €10/8, book in advance).
