DESCRIPTION
Leisure Horse Ireland prides itself in consistently providing an excellent, efficient and cost-effective service to its owners and breeders. All of our Studbooks and Equine Identification Register are DAFM and EU approved. All Studbook Passports qualify for the national breeding schemes etc.
THE IRISH PIEBALD & SKEWBALD STUDBOOK (IPSA)
Coloured horses have gained popularity due to their unique and eye-catching appearance, with their striking and unique coat patterns, they are used in a variety of equestrian disciplines, just like horses of any other colour. The colour of the horse does not determine its ability or potential use; instead, it is the horse’s conformation, temperament, and training that determine its suitability for specific activities. There is no doubt about it, the coloured horse will be found participating in various disciplines such as show jumping, dressage, eventing, driving, and pony club activities. We have operated this DAFM and EU approved studbook for 20+ years and offer full or supplementary studbook registration.
THE WELSH PONY & COB STUDBOOK OF IRELAND (WPCSI)
Bred in the mountains and wild regions of Wales for many generations, their acknowledged beauty does not mean they are merely a ‘pretty toy’ — centuries of ‘survival of the fittest’ has ensured their sound
constitution, iron hard limbs and great intelligence which combined with the legendary Welsh temperament means these ponies feature in all aspects of equestrianism.
