Congratulations Irish Pay and Lainee Shearer!! Your love and dedication to this horse is unmatched. Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings!

And if you need your 2025 Irish Pay breeding contract (we know you want one!), visit https://vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/erl/stallion-roster/irish-pay/

How much is a million?

⌚️A million minutes is the equivalent of 1,902 years.

🛻A million miles would take you around the earth 40 times.

Irish Pay is now a MILLION DOLLAR SIRE. What is that the equivalent of?

Years of hard work.
Belief in a dream that only you could have.
Time spent matching horses to owners.

And mostly.

❤️The love of a good horse.❤️

Congratulations to Lainee Shearer and Irish Pay on marking this life defining milestone.
