| Cork Lady, (R.I.D.) | by Cork Arthur, (R.I.D.), a rare dun Irish Draught Horse mare, Cork Lady has incredible light movement, the sweetest disposition, and a track record of producing the loveliest foals. Cork Lady has competed in Arena Driving Trials at the training level. She traveled with me to the Old Pueblo CDE in Tucson, AZ in November 2002 as my backup horse. She got some good work in during the off hours at the fairgrounds. She competing at Combined Driving Events in her own right soon. She is a great dam of Irish Sport Horses and has produced an approved Irish Draught Sport Horse Mare. Look for FNF Juliette of Cork. |  |
| Diamond Vella, (R.I.D.) Mare, 1994 | Our first mare, this beautiful 16hh R.I.D. mare jumps the moon. We could not keep her in the pasture with the 4 foot high fence. She loved to jump out and visit her friends in the barn. She does stay in the pasture with the 5'6" fence, but I'm sure it is only because the grass tastes better and she can see her friends |  |
| Ballyard Katie, (R.I.D.) | by Creggan Diamond (R.I.D.) by Holycross (R.I.D.), by Ben Purple (R.I.D.). This mare has produced an RID stallion who was just approved! |

Preciousness (TB) Mare, 1983 SOLD |
This magnificent matron carried me through many a steeplechase, which gives her the strength of a Clydesdale.. I foxhunted her for many years. Her very long tibial makes her well conformed for jumping. Her courage and sensible mind make her a great riding horse. We had no idea she would be such a great mother, or we might not have campaigned her as long as we did. |  |

Rio West (TB) Mare, 1992 SOLD |
Great Jumper who just delivered a Foal by FLAGMOUNT KING (R.I.D). She is pictured here with her Irish Draught Sport Horse foal Torpedo, by O'leary's Irish Diamond. You can see a more recent picture of Torpedo on the foals page. |

At Large, (IDSH)
|
This gorgeous giant is so large it is difficult to get her in the picture. She is truely larger than life at 18hh. She has the forward reach with her rear end and the collection to be a great dressage horse. She is athletic enough to be a jumper. |  |
| Hanna, (Friesian) | Star Mare, what a great idea for a sport horse. We could custom make one for you. Hanna was successfully competed at the Calwest CDE in June, 2002 in Temecula, California by Gillian Gwartz. Gillian was 10 years old at the time and had to borrow my own groom. I want to thank Liz Merchant who stepped in and groomed for me at Cal West as we won the Intermediate Horse division with Saxon. |  |

Sunflower Norwegian Fjord |
Our Pet, but this great horse competes successfully in Combined driving. She knows how to adjust her ride depending on who is aboard. Pendragon was riding her under saddle when he was only 4 years old. Alexander regularly wins the Preliminary Pony division at Combined Driving events. Sunflower is also an experienced foxhunter. There is no end to her talent |  |
| Ballyard Katie, (R.I.D.) | This is another picture of this beautiful Premium Mare. Her jet black coloring is very striking and can be appreciated in the picture on the right. She makes our Friesian horses jealous. This mare has produced an approved RID stallion by Glidawn Diamond and is in foal to Flagmount King for 2003! |  |
