Green Diamond Irish Draughts Purebred Irish Draught horse breeding barn. Irish Draught-One of the original warmbloods! We are a small Irish Draught (ID) breeding barn.

Initially located in Ohio on about 6.5 acres or so, we quickly outgrew that location and took an opportunity to purchase a family farm in Michigan, which is where we are originally from. This step allowed us to be closer to our extended families. We are currently hard at work building our dream farm from the ground up. We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase an 80 acre farm that had been in my husband’s family since 1959. That decision gave us some great land and just as importantly, lots of space for us and for our horses. There is nothing that we can not do here. However, building this farm will be a long term process and likely take many years. Our focus is on breeding purebred IDs with an emphasis on pursuing genetic diversity to assist with long term breed sustainability, along with a focus on producing performance horses, both of which can be combined into an purebred ID or an ID sport horse, which is an ID crossed with another breed. We believe that the Irish Draught is an ideal horse, for nearly all situations. An Irish Draught does NOT look like a traditional draft horse. It most closely resembles the currently popular warmblood horse but offers the additional bonus of being both amateur & family friendly without losing out on performance. Every horse barn should have at least one Irish Draught...or 2 or 3...! These amazing horses are considered an "endangered but maintained" breed by the U.N. (horseandhound.co.uk, 12/26/2018). Making a difference is an important goal to us. While there are a lot of horses in our world, there are not a lot of IDs, which is why we decided to venture into this area of horse breeding. The Irish Draught is an ideal horse. We intend to make a difference in this area with our horses. We have a mix of horses at our barn; there are purebred IDs, some OTTBs and a Halflinger, all of whom are treasured members of our family. We welcome visitors to our barn. If you’d like to meet some of these amazing breed ambassadors, reach out and let us know!

Dagda, our Dunsandle Diamond son, attended his very 1st dressage show this weekend 🎉🥳

We bought Dagda in-utero and met him the day he was born at Woodloch Stables. Seeing him at his very 1st show was such a huge milestone for all of us ❤️- almost like sending our child to high school for the first time 😂

Working with our fabulous local trainer, he alternates between rock star and giant toddler with a side of performance athlete attitude 🤦‍♀️, which makes us quite excited for his future.

Yay! Such a cool story!

Meet adult rider Lucinda Romero, who's been breeding her own Irish Draughts and Irish Sport Horses for more than two decades.

“They’re the perfect amateur horse. The true purebred is probably not going to be able to make the time at the upper levels, but they're so balanced and sound. They have really good, strong bones and good brains and their temperament—they’re just so kind.”

Ballyhaunis Silver Elm (Ronan), by Fast Silver out of RDS champion mare,
Elm View, hit it out of the park last year, in countless ways.

It’s not easy to bring along a young horse and a young rider.

Along the way there’s been lots of ups and downs, tears and joy. It’s been a complete mix of hope and uncertainty.

There’s been lots of training, lessons, and clinics with fabulous instructors sharing their insights and assessments.

Ronan is amazingly athletic,
extremely talented, super sharp and very quick to learn.

Last year, Ronan won:

🏆 Show jumping champion at the GLR’s USPC Mega Rally, which qualifies him for this summer’s USPC championships at KHP;

🏆Reserve Champion BN-Jr for TEAM, our state eventing association; and

🏆Champion Year End Award for IDHSNA in Eventing.

🎉🥳👏🎊🙌

We are so proud of this fabulous team and so grateful for everyone who helped the both of them along the way. None of it would’ve been possible without the support and dedication from the exceptional trainers who didn’t let us give up, (yes, I still have a sales ad written for him on my laptop 🤣) particularly when that would have been far easier to do so.

Not resting on their laurels, the two of them have been hard at work doing flatwork and dressage over the winter.

Recently, they forayed into a local dressage show for the very first time, placing 1st (74%) and 2nd (69%), along with winning overall high point champion for their class 🏆🥇🥈🙌🎉🎊👏

Ronan’s breeding and quality makes him stand out from the other horses.
Everywhere we go, people ask us what he is…and we are all proud to say he’s a purebred Irish Draught ❤️❤️ ❤️
