Irish Draught Sporthorse Gelding Will Mature to 16.2+h

Sire: Hang On Johnny Dam: Belgian x Mare (American Warmblood)

$7,500

Irish is a fabulous young gelding with a super work ethic, lovely gaits and a fun trusting personality.

Irish has been started under saddle. He was started with a desensitizing trainer who rode him western but worked on all of the "join up" things first; now Irish has progressed onto an eventing trainer who is currently working with Irish starting his dressage work. Irish will also willingly go over small fences with a rider and is wonderful to free jump!

Irish has a very solid start - walk/trot/canter and lovely ground manners. Irish lunges, lunges in side reins, ties, cross ties, loads and hauls, stands great for the farrier and vet and enjoys human interaction. He is curious and willing to please and will be an excellent dressage, eventing or jumping prospect. His form over fences is good with him naturally tucking his front legs well! Irish is extremely healthy and extremely sound and sells with a current negative coggins, current on feet trimming, worming and if going out of state will sell with an interstate health certificate.
