Irish Horses
Irish breeds of horse are renowned for their strength, versatility, and beauty. From the native breeds of the Connemara pony, Kerry Bog Pony and the Irish Draught horse, to the elegant performance horse breeds of the Irish Sport Horse, Irish Piebald & Skewbald and Irish Warmblood, these breeds have a rich history in Ireland and are prized for their athleticism and gentle temperament. If you are interested in Harness Racing then the Irish Bred, Irish Standardbred Trotter or Pacers will be of interest to you and you may not be aware that Ireland is a source of other breeds, such as the Irish Clydesdale Horse, Irish Shire and Welsh Cob and Pony Society through recently established breeding programmes.
