Horses > Horses for sale

We highly recommend that you read and understand the Buyers Beware information before you purchase any animals advertised, particularly important if you wish to breed or compete at affiliated shows. Why not complete your advert on line and attach your photographs using the FOR SALE FORM. Don't forget to read the Advertising Terms & Conditions as well.

Buyers beware

Please read the information below, it is important if you are purchasing an Irish Draught with a view to breeding and/or showing in affiliated classes.

We are aware that people are purchasing mares, foals and youngstock and then find they are unable to show them in any breeding classes affiliated to the Irish Draught Horse Society (GB). 

This is because either the sire or the dam, or both, have not been inspected or graded.

The terms ‘Pure Bred’ and Registered’ does NOT mean the horse has been Inspected or Graded.

Advertisers using the words ‘Pure Bred RID’ for foals and youngstock are incorrect and possibly misleading. RID was the classification given to inspected and graded stallions and mares between 1979 and 2010. 

People associate RIDas meaning ‘Registered Irish Draught’ but by law all foals must be ‘Registered’ with the Society in order to get a passport

IDHS (GB) Showing rules state:

All stock shown in the In Hand Breeding classes MUST be the progeny of a Graded Mare      (Class 1, Class 2, RID, AID, or on the Supplementary Grade Up Register) AND by an Irish Draught Class 1, Class 2, RID and RID(GB) Stallion on the Irish Draught Breed Register. 

The same rules apply to competing Irish Draught stallions that must be registered or overstamped by the IDHS (GB). Competing Irish Draught Sport Horse Stallions must be registered with the IDHS (GB).       

Horse Sport Ireland: Irish Draught Inspection Amnesty: The amnesty expired in 2021, so until the IDHS (GB) receives further information from HSI regarding the possibility of another amnesty, we are unable to allow mares, foals and youngstock that are by a Class 4 (Uninspected) Irish Draught stallion or are out of a Class 4 (Uninspected) Irish Draught mare, to be shown at affiliated classes.

The progeny of either Class 4 (Uninspected) stallions or mares that were not inspected by the end of 2021 are not eligible for future inspection under the present ruling.

The IDHS (GB) strongly advocates the use of inspected stallions and mares in order to preserve and protect the breed from hereditary defects. 

Please remember Inspected / Graded = Vetted.  All stallions and mares that have been Inspected or Graded and are classified as:  Class 1, Class 2, RID, AID, or are on the Supplementary Grade Up Register have all been vetted and been found free from hereditary defects.            Note: Class 3 is a Veterinary Failure.

Before making a purchase, you are advised to check the horse’s passport which will state which Grade has been given to the sire and dam.

If you have any queries, contact our Passport office:

MOUSE Beautiful moving full Irish Draught mare, graded last week, gaining her class 1. 4yrs old currently standing at 16hh, to make 16.1/16.2hh. Broken here & she has proved to be sane & sensible in everything she has done. We’ve lightly shown her this year. Won at Hambleton and also the Nw Irish Draft Show. Placed at Gt Yorkshire & Royal Windsor. Reserve Champion ID at Royal Lancashire Agricultural Show – Light Horse Section. Her first ever dressage test was this weekend at the Irish Draft Champ Show & she won with 74% the highest score across all classes. Hacks alone and in company, has been to the beach and farm rides and she always behaves impeccably, taking everything in her stride! We have popped her over a few small cross poles and she is very brave and willing although we haven’t explored jumping with her yet, I’m sure she could turn her hoof to anything. 5 figures. 07768 704480 PM for more info
