I thought that an ISH was a sport horse bred in ireland... but I have since had someone say to me its an ID x TB (bred anywhere). Which is right?
are ISH actually irish?

Sporthorse bred in Ireland I do believe - according to passports, but people do term an ID x TB as ISH (because thats mostly what is bred in Irl)

I think they have to be bread in Ireland, but aren't necessarily full Irish breeding - i.e. they can have some warmblood in them.
Mine is from Ireland and is IDxTB, although not a strait x if that makes sense..
It doesn't seem to be a very strict breed TBH, I think the Irish possibly stick ISH on lots of passports in the hope they can flog them for more money!
A bit like all Irish horses have hunted and all Irish TB's have won Pt to Pt's in Ireland.

Its to do with the breeding i.e. the horse must be by an ID stallion or by a mare by an RID stallion.

An ISH is just the Irish term for a warmblood. Cavalier Royale - a very influential ISH Stallion is actually a Holsteiner.

An ISH is a sport horse bred in Ireland by an Irish approved stallion...hence why foals bred by Guidam etc here can get "green" books
