Hey all, wondering if anyone has any connections for Irish horses in the MA/NY/NJ area. I’ve searched around online and not much action in the Facebook groups.
Looking for something at least started under saddle to get back into eventing after a big break with small kiddos.
I think I saw O’Hanlon eventing with some for sale. Just across the border in Canada, but looked lovely!
Courtney Cooper is in PA. She always has multiple horses to look at. Csquare farm
Equinox Farm in Pine Plains, NY imports from Ireland.
Beautiful! I’m a little scared to ask if they have anything in my budget 
Many so called Irish sport horses are continental bloodlines bred in Ireland.
I’m slowly learning about bloodlines and registries. I mostly care about type, soundness and mentality.
ISH is a registry. WBs or crosses bred in Ireland are not “so called” ISH, they are ISH. If you want a IDxTB type you are looking for a Traditional Irish Horse or TIH, which is often notated in the breeding or sales ad.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it though, Irish breeders know what they are doing, if you want a 5* prospect they are breeding those crosses with a lot of blood, if you want a nice fun safe lower level horse with nice movement that might be a WBxTBxID cross? they are breeding those too.
irish manor in Hunterdon County, NJ usually has a couple imports available
Courtney Cooper is in SEPA. She is wonderful. She takes several trips to Ireland anually.
