What stallions are available in NA? If someone with knowledge on the Irish sport horse stallions could pm me I would be greatful!! Thanks everyone!
I’m assuming you mean part Irish Draught (any horse bred in Ireland is an ISH). The list of approved RIDSH stallions can be found at http://irishdraught.com/ There are also some unapproved stallions such as Flagmounts Freedom as well as some at Acorn Hill. I’m sure there are a few others that aren’t coming to mind at the moment.
Flexible is an Irish Sporthorse Stallion based in the US (Oregon). http://flexiblegrandprixjumper.com
Thanks, I will take a look, I am specifically looking for a medium built stallion that is over 16.2 with a good easy temperament. Would love a half ISH and half warmblood. The mare herself is a smaller warmblood mare who is very sensitive, I am just thinking about other options rather than going with the typical warmblood crosses.

This is not correct. Ireland’s dedicated showjumping studbook is the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland: http://www.irish-warmblood.com/
There are also other breeds catering to, for example, the leisure sector.
We have IDs and IDSH’s. I think you will be happy with your foal, if you select an ID or IDSH stallion. IDs and IDSHs usually have lovely temperaments and a good work ethic.
