Ok joining the bandwaggon - irish sport horses

[leanne123]

could someone please have a word with my alfie then cos hes a big sissy pants.

 

[Maesfen]

Have to admit I am so so tempted! Bear's out of a very small Commanche Run mare, just think what Bea would (fingers crossed and trust in the Lord!) produce?! Glad you approve too!

Sounds just like mine.Lol.I love them too.I am considering another horse this year and I would definitely go for the same again.They are wonderful and very giving in all they do but they don't suffer fools gladly.

Totally agree with you on that one!

I love them but then owning one kind of makes me biased I suppose

 

[igglepiggle]

LOVE THEM!!

 

[amage]

It depends on the mare she was out of as really...you get some clover hills that are unbelievably placid but crossed with some lines of mares you can get real hot progeny. alot of them were jumpers though!

 

[PaddyMonty]

Luv them but then I'm biased as well. My current lad is perfect. Happy to play when I want him to but a gent when I accompany my young daughter out on a hack.
He's by Cruising out of Breffni Clover who is by Clover Hill.
Looking back a few generations I recond he is about 70% TB
Did have a 50/50 previously but he really needed another cross of blood to help make the time BE.

I love my ISH they are so adaptable.

Unfortunately I dont know who she is by, can you find out through DNA these days?

[Rambo]

I've had two and they were both great

 

[the watcher]

have a 12yo 16hh, love him, he has the NICEST nature and is rock steady to hack out..but with stamina and a nice turn of speed. In appearance I would describe him as a TB with plenty of bone

 

[sloulou]

Love them - we have 3 in our family (two are mine! both ID x TB in varying amounts).

My sisters is gorgeous ISH - he's only 14.2 tho and definately has connemara in with his TB...

What is the criteria for ISH - is it just irish native crossed with TB? (Sorry to sound ignorant..)

 

[nicnag]

Love them! I'm now own my fifth ISH and I wouldn't look at anything else for temperament. I tried a lot of horses when looking for my latest one but I'm definately always drawn back to the ISH!

Maybel no longer with me, I lost her to colic 18 months ago but an amazing girl!

Ellie, my new girl, she has a brilliant temperament but also knows when we can have a bit of fun! My farrier calls her an all round nice person.

Cinders - my old lady, now 28 and falling to pieces! We had so much fun, my only regret was not buying her sooner!
