Up-date on finding an ID - bought one in Jan & here's a video

[jaquelin]

As title - I posted late last year about searching for an ID or ID cross. Got a youngster from Ireland - now just 4. He is RID, sire is Cork Arthur, dam-sire is All the Diamonds, a Grade A show-jumper. Here is first outing video.

Would be interested in comments re size - conformation, His is 6 generations ID but at the mo looks very TB. We assume that will change - Sire is very stocky, but who knows. He has a nice swinging trot and got 8s for it in his first dressage outing. My daughter's first course in nearly two years.

Looks like an ID to me, couldn't see any signs of TB in there...

He's only 4 - and one has to say that Irish breeders often don't push their youngsters (a few don't feed them at all!) It's not uncommon for a 3 or 4 year old to come over from Ireland - and put on 2-3" in height and add an inch of bone in the next 2 years!

He looks a nice chap - very green, of course - but take him quietly and he'll get there.
