Finn is a super attractive, quality Irish Sport Horse with a kind nature, correct conformation and a genuine desire to please. Standing out for both his looks and temperament, he is the sort that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Traditionally bred, Finn combines the best of Irish and Thoroughbred bloodlines. He is by the Irish Draught stallion Touch of the Emperor, a sire renowned for producing athletic, sensible horses with excellent rideability, substance and versatility. Out of a Thoroughbred mare by the exceptional Dylan Thomas, a multiple Group 1-winning racehorse whose progeny are known for their stamina, toughness and athleticism. This proven combination of Irish Draught and Thoroughbred blood has long been the recipe for producing outstanding all-round sport horses, and Finn is no exception.
A true all-rounder, Finn has enjoyed a varied education and has taken everything in his stride. He has competed at unaffiliated events, including hunter trials, and is confidently jumping courses around 90cm with plenty of ability and scope to progress. He has also attended stay-away camps where he quickly became a firm favourite thanks to his easy-going nature and willingness to get involved in whatever was asked of him.
On the flat, Finn works in three balanced, rhythmical paces and is a horse who genuinely enjoys learning. He is intelligent, trainable and always tries his best for his rider. He recently produced a respectable 66% at Prelim dressage, demonstrating his willingness and natural rideability.
Finn possesses all the attributes required to make a very enjoyable grassroots event horse. He is bold and straightforward cross-country, jumps coloured fences confidently, has plenty of ground cover and remains focused and rideable on the flat.
To hack, he is a pleasure. He is sensible in open spaces, has seen a small variety of light traffic (would need more exposure to be 100%) and is not the type to spook at shadows or create unnecessary drama. He will happily lead or follow and is an enjoyable horse to have out and about.
Finn is one of those horses that is incredibly easy to like. Whilst he may not be destined for international competition, he offers something far more valuable to many riders — a genuine, honest and versatile horse who will throw himself into any job asked of him. Whether your ambitions lie in riding club activities, camps, low-level eventing, hunting, dressage, showjumping or simply enjoying days out with friends, Finn will always turn up with a willing attitude and a smile on his face.
