The Irish Draught horse is not (despite its name) typical of the draught type. It is a handsome, athletic sport horse with an excellent temperament and is widely used for crossing with the thoroughbred or near thoroughbred to produce a first rate competition horse or hunter. Pure bred examples of the breed have excelled in show jumping, in particular.
Open to all breeders and breeding farms promoting or sponsoring the Irish Draught horse.
Please note: Sites listed in this category will not be cross-indexed in Sporthorses.
