Irish Whiskey carries in his genes years of the very best
pony breeding the United States has to offer. His lineage traces back
to Cymraeg Rain Beau, Welsh Hills and Fox Hollow Singing Star, to
name but a few. Whiskey competed in two breeding shows as a two-year
old; placing 2nd at Upperville and 3rd at Deep Run.
Whiskey
is the epitome of an athlete, with a huge length of stride and phenomenal,
natural form over fences and an easy lead change. Not only is he an
athletic jumper and big mover, but he has an easy-going and sweet
temperament. This temperament is paired with brains and boldness and
his foals are carrying on this combination. His get are natural lead-changers
and have an "eye" for jumping that is apparent from an early
age. Whiskey is an ideal stallion to produce athletic hunter pony,
jumper pony or sport pony prospects.
Approved
as a First Premium breeding stallion with a score
of 7.7 by the American
Sportpony Registry in February 2002, and with this accomplishment
his foals are now eligible for registration in, and participation
in, the ASPR. This includes sponsored classes at major competitions
such as Dressage at Devon and the $2,000 Annual Foal Futurity. His
scores during inspection included an 8.5 for Breed Type and Conformation
and judge's comments included "Excellent Type" and "Wonderful
Jumper"!
