Moo Wills – your ID looks very much like mine, how is he bred ?

He's by Glidawn Diamond and we had to find that out through DNA tests. We had him from someone who bought him from the sales in Ireland and there was no passport (it was 9 years ago). Thankfully someone put on the vet cert that they thought this was how he was bred so we went down the DNA route!
 
My old horse (3/4 ID 1/4 TB) was a lead horse round open team chases before I owned him, he was surprisingly fast! He was also evented at a low level in his previous home, but they gave up because he was always at the bottom after dressage.
 
another vote for definately you can event with an irish draught, i done one affiliated event at BE 80 last year, didnt go to plan but he's only 6 but out unaffilliated we have done up to 1m xc and he absolutely loves it, just waiting for injury to fully heal before starting to work the jumping back in, but i personally would never buy a different breed of horse :)

I had a mw ID x TB by Coille Mor Hill. His jump was massive and would do a good dressage test (not with me on him though). He evented up to novice level with previous owner, and with the right rider he probably would have done it again. Generally picked up time faults on xc though.

His "top gear" was also a LOT slower than the TB I had at the same time.
 
Lisa, the lovely Jones was sold just before Xmas :( I had hoped he would turn into a good hunter stamp but the more he matured, the more leggy and sports horse type he turned into. He was adorable but i felt very over horsed at times. I had a couple of falls from him and it was a long way down !
He just had a small sharp streak about him and he was immensely (sp) talented so i decided it was best for him and me if i sold him and move onto something slightly more mature.
He has gone to a lovely girl near Exeter who is going to SJ him and i know she loves him already
