Irish breed of horse
The Irish Sport Horse, or Irish Hunter, is an Irish breed of warmblood sporting horse, used mostly for dressage, eventing and show-jumping. It was bred from 1923 by cross-breeding of Irish Draught and Thoroughbred stock. There was some limited intromission of Hanoverian, Selle Français and Trakehner blood in the 1990s.[3]: 467 [4] It is a recognised true breed – foals may only be registered in the main section of the stud-book if both parents are registered in that section.[5]
