Carrafarm Better Together ISH (TIH) aka
Georgie is a handsome 4-year-old Traditional Irish Horse gelding standing 16.2/3hh. He is a homebred & full history is known. He had a successful in-hand career as a young horse, placing at both Balmoral and the Dublin Horse Show as a 2 and 3 year-old.
He was carefully started just before Christmas and slowly brought on this year. Recently introduced to shows under saddle, he rides well on the flat with all the basics established. He has been ridden on the gallops and hacked in company.
Georgie made a winning start to his competition career recently, competing at his first Dressage Ireland show where he placed 1st and 2nd in his classes. He has also attended a couple of training jumping shows and has been cross-country schooling proving bold & brave.
A blood horse with plenty of engine, Georgie is a powerful mover with correct conformation and an athletic, attractive model. He shows natural scope, willingness, and a forward thinking attitude to his work.
Easy to handle in every way with a kind temperament- good to clip, shoe, box etc. Teeth, worming, feet & vaccinations up to date & all done regularly since birth.
He will best suit an experienced competition home to continue his education and allow him to realise his potential. Bred with eventing in mind, he combines quality, movement, and blood, and would also be competitive in pure dressage.
Sire: Templar Spirit – a purpose-bred Thoroughbred eventing sire by Hand in Glove (1.60m SJ / PSG Dressage) out of Templar Quito (2).
From limited progeny, Templar Spirit produced multiple upper-level eventers, including Templar Juno and Spirits Gemini (4), as well as Emerald Spirit and Templar Esprit (3/2*). His grandsire Hand in Glove has sired numerous 1.60m showjumpers and top eventers, including the legendary Jaguar Mail.
Dam: Pagestown Harmony – Class 1 Irish Draught mare by Crosstown Dancer (1.60m SJ), carrying 17% Thoroughbred blood.
