There's at least 3 by him over there!!! As an aside, I actually competed Windgap when he was a young horse

The one other that escapes you is the rather phenomenal Hermes De Reve! Nations Cup horse, GP winner, sire of international eventers and showjumpers and half brother to Pacino

Alec, good to hear from you too amigo. What email did you send it to? Hotmail or Gmail? I'd love to have a look for you!

What? When? Why has no one mentioned this before?

I love the sheer scale of generalization that goes on in posts like this!

Ireland is awesome! Good choice

We're horse breeders. We're in this for the long haul. To make sure the next generation is better than the last. This isn't the place to make a quick buck. We're gamblers with an addiction!

What you have in that filly is a nice bit of what our thoroughbred friends would refer to as "black type" in the damline. Even if she never competes and just goes breeding at 3, it's still a strong damline and the odds of producing successful competition horses from her are stacked in your...

When you're asked to bid, it's sometimes because the owner doesn't want to scare you away with what (s)he thinks the foal is worth/isn't sure what to ask. If it were my foal and out of a mare with that performance and by Cardento then recession or not, if she wasn't making €10k there's a...

When the two of the best ID stallions ever, Clover Hill and KOD himself, wouldn't get in as Grade 1 stallions today, you know something is gone pear shaped!! Irish Draughts ... a type. Not a breed. The best ID stallion? Sea Crest obviously! Why? Look below ;-)

What Gadetra said! He is indeed with Kennedys. They have a proper roster of stallions down there!

No point looking up Tinarana, they're gone! I'll find out where Future Trend is now and get back to you

A friend of ours actually stood him in Clara View before moving to France and sending Jackson's Drift down to Clare. I'd say we had as many horses by him through here as any yard in the country.

I think myself from having a bit of Flagmount King breeding in the yard here, that if were my mare, I'd use a commercial thoroughbred stallion and hope for a filly. Probably the best thoroughbred stallion in Britain I can think of off the top of my head is Power Blade. It's such a pity he's not...

I'd imagine the Limerick Lady classes are geared towards draughts as well
