the tenth century, when small native horses were crossed with Norman horses in order to develop larger animals. A couple of years later, these horses were crossed with Spanish Andalusians, which are known for their refinement.
The Irish draught was formally established somewhere around 1917. Due to the farming conditions in Ireland, in the 19th century, the Irish farmers started to develop a more adaptable horse, one that could work the land, take the product to the market, go fox hunting and take the family to the church on Sundays. Thus, the Irish Draught was born, a horse with good bones and an exceptional temperament. Unfortunately, the introduction of machineries on the farms in Ireland diminished the agricultural niche that helped the Irish Draught to flourish. Nowadays, the Irish Draught which played an important role in the foundation breed of the sport horse ireland is popular throughout the world.
The Irish horses have an easy-going temperament and a great ability to jump. Furthermore, these horses can be trained quite easy due to the fact that they are fast learners. Who doesn’t want a horse that is willing and safe to ride, has an easy-going nature and a great health, being easy to keep?
