Eddie and Patrick Harty are a father and son team based on the Curragh, Ireland. They come from a long line of horsemen and are steeped in horse racing history and tradition. In 2021 they became the first licensed partnership to train racehorses in Ireland.

Mulgrave Lodge is situated in Pollardstown, right on the edge of the famous Curragh of Kildare. It has been built in its entirety by the Harty family to cater for every need of their horses. The horses are ridden from the yard to the Curragh daily where there are endless options for exercise.

Eddie spent his early days in finance before following his roots into training racehorses. Initially Eddie's focus was on flat racing but the arrival of Captain Cee Bee moved the operation towards jump racing. Captain Cee Bee won twice at the highest level including at the Cheltenham Festival and raced for an incredible 10 years, a testament to his trainer's careful handling.

Patrick's interest in horses and racing grew when his father started training and upon finishing school he left for England to work for champion trainer Nicky Henderson. Patrick spent five years as assistant to Nicky, working with some of the best jump horses seen in recent times. He returned home to Kildare with his wife, Harriet, in 2015.
