Ballyhoura Breeze

Wicked

Does anybody know where this stallion is?

He is a ID not an RID, unless he's been registered in the past couple of years.

I have a three yr old by him whom i bought as a yearling, since then the stallion has been sold. (he was in the same yard)

anybody have any idea where he is?

Did you try looking up the Irish Field Directory? He may be listed in the stallion section. Or a google search might yield some results either?

Wicked

not on irish field and when you google it you get a 14'2 connemara! which he's not!

Are u sure that's the stallion's name? is it not unlikely that 2 horses will be registered with the same name?

byhookorbycrook

Ballyhoura is in North Cork area,f this any use.

Is it sometimes the case that a horse can be registered with Wetherbys (TB registry) even though there's a horse registered with the SJI, for example, of the same name? Something along that line is naggingly familiar to me, but I can't be too sure. I do know, however, that racehorses in different countries can have the same name. I heard it a few years back, where 2 horses on the flat, one in GB and one in Ireland had the same name. That's why IRE, GB, NZL, FR, etc. appear after their names.

Back on topic: I don't suppose it'd be any use asking the people who used to have him if they knew where he was? (Or maybe you've done that already)

Wicked

unfortunately the man that use to own him is elderly and now in a nursing home, all the horses were sold.

i'm only curious because the yearling we bought matured so beautifully and we just recently broke her and shes fabulous - well i think she's fabulous, beautiful manner, so quiet and intelligent, i just love her.. anyway... I have a mare now with good breeding and i'd love to bring her to him.

i heard that horses by the stallion were for sale the last time in gorressbridge but after that i dont' know where he is.

Hi there,

Ballyhoura Breeze was by Heather Breeze and out of a mare called Prospect Susan. He was a grey Irish draught S1 stallion, born in 1995. I hear he was somewhere in the Limerick area.

His pedigree can be seen at the following link http://www.idshs.com.au/perl/search.pl?op=tree&index=ballyhoura_breeze&gens=5


Hope this is helpful...

Wicked

Hi thanks for the link

PRIDE OF SHAUNLARA has a good reputation.

i think sue is looking for a picture of him, can't seem to find one.

is he at stud in limerick or is the owner keeping him for his own mares.

Wicked

susan56horse

hi thanks i know his breeding i used heather breeze myself in the past when he was here in the uk
pics of him would be nice

susan56horse

wonder why he did not pass rid?

susan56horse

hi
i have spoken to ballyhoura breeze's breeder and can confirm that he was previously called kensons cockney rebel
and was registered as a foal with the i.d.h.s (gb)
wish i could find where he is now

bailybeattie

This stallion has excellent rare breeding by the famous Heather Breeze out of a three times Hornby Premium mare.
He now stands at Slaneyside Stud, Rustyduff, Knockanarrigan, Donard, Co. Wicklow.
Further details in the 2011 Irish Field Directory

susan56horse

i own a gelding by him out of a mare calle rush with no recorded breeding unfortunatley

thehillbilly

Ballyhoura Breeze is alive and well. He has covered a few mares this year. His new owner lives in the Glen of Imaal just down the road from where he stood with Joe Mackey. He is currently standing with the Shannons outside Tinnahealy in Wicklow for the covering season. Looks real well now and belies his age. Hopefully some people will use him.

Hi, maybe it´s a little late for my answer, but I just read the thread about the stallion Ballyhoura Breeze. Sorry I don´t know anything about the stallion himself but I bought a 3ys. old grey mare in March by this stallion and took her to Germany. I am very convinced of this horse: she is intelligent, gentle, calm and busy to work - the perfect young horse!

susan56horse

never too late for reply
here is my gelding by him dapple grey
and also pic of stallion the white grey

thehillbilly

It is many years since I led him out to cover a mare when he was with Joe Mackey. He was then a very ameniable and tractable stallion. He remains a very placid stallion, with an excellent temperament. I understand that he has covered a number of mares this year and all are in foal. This is a credit to his management in the months leading up to the covering season. His photo does not do him justice and hopefully the owner will have a better one in the near future. A romp through his pedigree is like a whos who of the ID breed. One can only imagine what he might have achieved if the current studbook rules were in place when he was a young horse.:pac:

glendalough breeze

Hi, send you a photo of my mare. It´s a pity but I don´t have one riding at the moment. Will follow in some days.

susan56horse

thank you for pic be nice to see some more
max won ode yesterday pics to follow

glendalough breeze

Hi,
here are my first pics riding. I´m working her since March very carefully. Today we had our first hack alone. Hope to get some of your photos and experiences. Maybe you got a photo of Ballyhoura Breeze?

glendalough breeze

Thank you for the nice picture. Beside of the colour I don´t see many points of the stallion in my filly, but she must have inherited his gentle character.
Hope to hear of you and your horses!

eharper

I also have just brought a young 4 year old by Ballyhoura Breeze and he is a lovely stamp with a super temperment. I shall post a photograph soon but he looks likes the image of susan56horse horse. He was brought at gorsebridge this year but i have no record of his dam which is a shame. any more photos or detials would be much appreciated.

susan56horse

some more pics of max he was brought over from ireland his dam was called rush but unforunatley has no recorded breeding listed as ish

thehillbilly

Hi All,

Please see attached photo of Ballyhoura Breeze. Pity about the two head pieces. I saw him grazing contentledy in his paddock yesterday. Some of his stock did very well in the recent Goresbridge sales, not bad for a horse of his limited opportunity. If you got the breeders details, you might be able to get some information on the dam of your horse. Good Luck thehillbilly

glendalough breeze

Good evening,
the dam of my filly is from Aristocracy TB / Dysart Abbey.

I too have a horse by Ballyhoura Breeze out of Rushes. I bought him recently Sept '13 as a 6 year old. He came over to England from Ireland in about June 2013. So am I right in thinking that our horses would not be able to show as part-bred IDs because Ballyhoura Breeze was unregistered. Has anyone found a way around this?

Susan56horse my gelding, full brother to yours, is the spit of yours apart from the pigmentation on your horse's muzzle and eyes.

Here is my Bud's Choice....


Hopefully you can see this.

susan56horse

hi
yes we can show in partbred classes we just competed at breed show this year
nice to hear about them being brothers have you seen any pics of rush
where about do you live

mod edit: <snip> Please don't post personal contact details in posts - you never know who could be reading your posts! It's better to keep all such details to PM.

if you would like to catch up more i would be delighted

snowstormii

I have tried to PM you but I am not sure if it went or not. I am waiting for a picture of Rushes to be emailed by the breeder's daughter.

I am in Berkshire and would LOVE to get in contact with you. Try PM'ing me or adding me as a contact. It might work that way round!

Anyway, what she told me is that Rushes had a foal every other year and that they had had her since the lady I am talking to was a child. She was a very quiet mare and said if Buddy was anything like her he won't have a bad hair on him!! She is right. Rushes died a couple of years ago aged 31 of laminitis having had a foal a few months previously. Rushes is a black cob mare and the man that bought Buddy as a yearling told me he thought she was half connemara but I haven't had that confirmed.

My Buddy has a white passport. Is that good enough to do part-bred classes? Local or county level? There is nothing in there to say he was actually by an ID stallion - even his sire's name is mis-spelt (I have Ballyhauris Breeze, but the breeder's daughter tells me it was definitely Ballyhoura Breeze.

I have got more to tell you but prob best to PM.

snowstormii

Have PM'd you Susan56horse!

snowstormii

What were/are Ballyhoura Breeze's strengths, apart from his temperament? Was he a jumping/hunting/ODE type of stallion or is there some other reason mare owner's chose him?

glendalough breeze

Hi, I´ve got a now 6 ys. old Ballyhoura Breeze mare which I bought from her breeder in Wicklow mountains. Perhaps it might help to contact this man to get to know more about the stallion. If you want to get his address please pm me. She´s wonderful horse and it´s a pity that I have to sell her because of accident of mine.

susan56horse

i know about the stallion now met his owner at breed show and was previously in touch
thank you

thehillbilly

Ballyhoura Breeze is with Damian and Mary Kenny's Slaneyside Stud in Wicklow. He has bred some smashing foals this year. Under current regulations he is Classified as Class 2 Irish Draught. His dam line is a wonderful old Greenvale line with double Hornby premium winner Prospect Susan in it. It can be checked out on the Horse Sport Ireland web site www.horsesportireland.ie then go to Capaill Oir to get his full pedigree. His stock can be shown in part bred ID classes. Good luck
