Taproot Stud

Taproot Stud Quality Irish Hunters for Jumpers, Event and Field. TSH is a small Irish Sport Horse breeding operation standing ISH stallion Taproot Dutch Diamond.

Taproot's goal is to breed sound, sane athletes to be competitive jumpers, event and first flight field hunters suited to the ambitious amateur rider. We breed for movement, jump and stamina to be competitive in the big rings. We use a combination of Irish Draught with Thoroughbred and 'blood' warmbloods to create an elegant, noble horse with the aesthetic and performance of a classic Irish hunter

. TSH has limited youngstock for available for sale. If you are interested in one of our horses please let us know. Preference is given to show homes.

Ahtractiv Starfire is such a queen! We are experimenting and have been teasing her for cover. We bred Stella a few days ago. These two have been hard to keep in foal and hoping late season may offer geststional benefits.

She’s 22 this year; was pregnant and lost 50-65 days this spring. Fingers crossed.

Rua was picking up weight and we moved her to the pony dry lot. Our bossy geriatric 11h gelding went after her in the shed and her most obvious method of escape was to jump him!

More than little Walnut bargained for 😳Oh Rua!

Bought 2 of these for the ponies but fit the weanlings very well. Highly recommend! Super adjustable. Shoulder has Velcro adjustment. Not too long in the drop.

I’ll be buying more for the youngsters.

Name suggestions needed!

Royal’s foals have been ‘court’ named.

Baroness, Contessa, Noble, etc.

I need names for Janie and Lizzy’s colts. Janie’s is big bodied and masculine. Lizzy’s has a fine face and lighter build.

Will have our Taproot prefix.

Ideas???

So proud of Janie’s handsome boy.  Very nice type 😍

Our 2023 colts we’ll be test breeding in the spring. Very different body styles. Pipit is compact and strong with beautiful, rocking canter with lots of blood from his 1/2 arabian dam. Arete is big and rangy, lots of scope and class.

Which is your type?

They will be offered for on-farm breedings starting April. Mares must have been bred in-hand previously and come with a clean culture. Email TaprootSportHorses@gmail for fees and booking.

We started Aspen in house and sent her to the Clasings working in all paces with trail miles. They have done a lot with her in a month! Proving giving them the time to develop at their own speed pays off in the long run. Auto change, jumping, moving softly through her body. Highly recommend Clasing Equestrian.

We have a 2 y/o with similar breeding if you are shopping for younger. Prima is our last Prime x TB blood type left.

We will be putting a Prime son to several mares in the spring. He’ll be available for outside mares starting late April.
