Amharc ar fhreagraHorse Sport Ireland (HSI) has been approved by my Department, in accordance with the relevant EU and National Legislation, since 2008, to maintain the studbook of origin for the Irish Draught Horse breed in Ireland. Irish Draught horses owned by members of the Irish Draught Horse Society may be registered in the Irish Draught Horse Studbook.
