An interesting article on the preservation and history of the Irish Draught Horse
“The purebred Irish Draught is a highly popular choice of breed for equestrian events, especially show jumping, eventing, and dressage. These horses are also used as police mounts, hunting horses, and even for minor league horse racing.”

Road ride day for Major the Irish stallion ☘️
Introducing Jazz another offspring to Major Roche An Irish Draught Stallion enjoying his day out at the show. This gelding is 18 Months and going through a bit of a growth spurt standing aprox 15 hands. He has a very cool personality happy to be on his own or in a group. A very good listener and wouldn't hurt a fly. He is 7/8th Irish draft descending from Kingsway Diamond and Colemans Touch from his Dam and Farmhill Highlander and Gildawn Diamond from Major Roche An Irish Draught Stallion line

Introducing Chante our 18 mth old Irish Draught x Thoroughbred with Major Roche An Irish Draught Stallion a descendent of Farmhill Highlander and King of Diamonds and Trudie who is a descendent of Captain Rio and Sir Tristram. This was her first show and she did so well getting 3rd Youngstock. She has a lovely trot and good conformation. She has a lot of character and loves to work. I think she is going to be something special when she develops fully.
Thanks to Dayffd Flye and Dallas Hopkins for all the work you did training the humans and the horses. We really appreciate your expertise and patience.
Chante and Jazz had an adventure this weekend at the Brecland Show competing in the Hunter/sport horse section with 12 other horse.
Chante got 3rd Young stock and Jazz got 4th.
We are very proud with our 18 month old standing out against some much older and stunning competitors (Spot the Black horse that got second!). This was Chante's first show ... soo proud of Major Roche for producing these fine young horses.
Thank you Dallas Hopkins for the the pics and your support!
