- The Irish Draught is a rare and beautiful horse breed from Ireland. Learn more about these amazing equines in this 10 Fascinating Facts Video!
🇮🇪 About the Breed:
In 18th Century Ireland farms were small and farmers often could only afford to have one horse. They needed that horse to work in the fields, drive the family to town and ride all day on the hunt. The solution... was the Irish Draught. Lighter than a traditional draft with smooth athletic movement and a reliable temperament. Average height is 15.0-16.3hh. Breed Registry: Irish Draught Horse Breeders Association. Studbook: Horse Sport Ireland.

🐴Have you met an Irish Draught Horse? What is your Favorite thing about them?
I own 2 😍 I believe the only purebreds in my state in Australia, a mare and her filly. There are only 10-15 breeding females in Australia so they are extra special. My grey looks almost exactly like this one. I adore her, except for one thing: she's TERRIFIED of sprinklers 😂
Yes several times. I live in rural Ireland.
Their kind and gentle nature, I used to ride one years ago, his name was Daddy Cool

I was the very lucky owner of an ID for 10 years and he was the absolute equine love of my life. When you look into the eyes of an Irish Draught, you immediately see their soul 💛. I've waited 9 years to own another, and was recently introduced to a grey ID from Ireland and now in the process of owning another. ❤❤
Awwww! I am so excited for you, congratulations on your new ID!! They are such a wonderful breed!!

I had the pleasure of owning a Irish Draught Sport Horse for almost 12yrs before she passed. I had fallen in love with them prior to knowing what they were (thought they were WBs at 2 training facilities I rode at). Then obtained Lucy and came to know about the IDs. Lucy made it hard to ride other breeds and if life allows me to own another I will not hesitate! I competed in Eventing and Dressage, but we also did Polocrosse, Fox Hunting, Obstacle Courses and long distance riding (50mile ride).
Awww, thanks for sharing your story Sharesa! Sounds like Lucy was a wonderful riding partner! 💕
Love those big draft horses, but this smaller version is certainly more practical...love the look, color & confirmation of the Irish Draft horses featured...didn't catch it's name..BEAUTY!
Sometimes I think the famous jumper "Snowman" was an Irish Draught Horse.
Strange to think they’re so difficult to come by, when there is such a great demand for them, for such a variety of purposes: sporting competition, police and even ceremonial work as well as breeding stock. Breeding these animals must surely be a profitable enterprise.
Nice to see you at Castle Leslie!
I just saw this horse for the first time on your video "About The Irish Draught Horse". This horse is number 1 my favorite. The second one is Missouri Fox Trotter Horse. I would like to take a ride both of them. But sadly, i can't becausse of this pandemy. I hope i can ride it someday.
Yes, hopefully someday! They are both wonderful breeds to ride! Thanks again for sending in your video suggestions. Hope you enjoyed it! :)
The video is so nice. Thank you so much.
Enjoyed it😄
Is it strange that I’m Irish and absolutely love IDH’s but I still didn’t know some of these facts? Anyway, great video! Irish draughts are amazing.
I'm glad to hear you learned some things from the video! 🙂 I agree with you, they are an amazing breed!
Amazing channel amazing idea is to ride every horse breed and and so people who are into horses can easily learn
I admire this 💯💯💯🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much!
This is my breed! From all I learned in your video and some comments of your fans.
Nice looking horse with good measurements confirmation.

@@DiscoverTheHorse thanks!

I was to ride a fantastic chap called Major, who was also grey. We need to promote this breed
I could see myself owning one of these... And, I bet they won't clash with my stra-blonde hair (yep, I'm part Irish)... Joking aside, they are a nicely built and good looking specimen.
Alyssa great video l can see by your smile you love what you do please ride the conmara pony God bless
thank you, this is what i needed. Im going to a horse trip to patagonia was looking for horses and saw your video . What would you think is the friendliest breed btw ? thank you
Wow, that sounds like an amazing trip!!! I haven't been to Patagonia yet. As far as friendliest horse breeds, there are SO many different breeds that have been super friendly, some of them I have a hard time getting far enough away to film them, because they always want to be right next to me! :)
'On a quest to ride every breed' That's going to be interesting with a Falabella.
if i ever own a horse it will be an irish draught
don't Irish draught horses get up to 17.3 hands though ?
Yes, many ID are over 17hh.. I own one at 17hh. He is by the famous stallion CRANNAGH HERO. Sadly he is permanently lame with sidebone. I love him just as much. ID are very front heavy and unfortunately are predisposed to issues like sidebone. Most of them are grey. They are athletic but don't often compete past 1m20 in showjumping due to their weight. They are crossed with TB and this results in the ISH(Irish sports horse) these horses are lighter boned, more athletic and are used for a wide range of equestrian activities, predominantly eventing, and show jumping. I am lucky enough to own one also. His sire is the legendary showjumper CRUISING who was an ISH. He has 2 clones because he was so legendary.
does his majesty household cavalry horse are irish horse breed?
Is the word "Draught" pronounced "Draft"?
Yes, the breed spelling is "Irish Draught" but it is prounouced as "Draft."
Referring to drawing vehicles, ploughs, etc. Excellent hunter too. The Royal Guard in London is mounted mostly on Irish Draught I think.
