My objective is to promote the Irish Draught breed. My stallion, Oliver, is a true hunting stallion. He can be trailed to the meet with a mare, he can ride iron to iron next to a mare, and take his rider over first field in Virginia hunt country with such hunts as Orange County and Piedmont. In Ireland, he hunted with the Meath and others. He is an outstanding example of the breed for which he was granted a bronze medal in Ireland for what he produced. I imported a few of his offspring as examples of what he produces and have two thoroughbred mares in foal to him to show off what he can produce through that cross. I offer fresh and frozen semen in the Us and frozen in Ireland.
