Irish Sports
Horse Top Breeders for 15th Successive Year |
The Irish
Sports Horse Studbook was ranked top eventing breeder at the recent
World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses congress in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It is the 15th
year in succession that they have won the title and marks a
significant achievement for the small country.
Ringwood

Folly (ISH), was the top ranked Irish bred eventer in the world last

ten three star events and two four stars making him the most
successful event horse to compete under the German flag of all time.
