Our Irish Draught mare, April, gave us yet another brilliant day out at the Dublin Horse Show on Thursday. We’ve always loved to add a touch of blood to the mix while keeping our breeding firmly along Traditional lines, and this year April’s 7-week-old foal, Leia was the sole entry in the part-bred Irish Draught class. The judges, stewards, and commentator Peter Quirke were wonderfully kind, and we’re truly grateful for their words of thanks for our support of the RDS.
April has consistently passed on her correct conformation and floating step to each of her five foals. Among them, we are fortunate to have two Traditional Irish Horse fillies who we hope will, in time, play their part in preserving and strengthening the Traditional herd.
