For the past 2 years MRC has been making trips to Ireland and building our partnership with Hollypark and their wonderful Irish Sport Horses. We are excited to share their top quality operation and horses with our riders in the US and on our trips to Ireland!
The breeding operation at Hollypark aims to produce quality Draught and Sport horses for jumping, eventing and hunting. Running loose with their own herd of thirty mares, is their Registered Irish Draught Stallion Drishane Diamond, who's back breeding includes the famous Clover hill and Diamond Lad, the foundation of many of the best sport horses in Ireland. He has a fantastic temperament and is producing some very promising young horses.
Horses from the Burren are well practiced to cross country with ease out hunting, as they are always watching the ground and where they are going, having been educated by making their own way up and down the mountains unaided over the first few formative years of their lives. The Burren is renowned as one of the most beautiful places in Ireland to visit. With little interference over millions of years, it is a remarkable place for these horses to run as a herd and they all thrive here.
