Four stallions were awarded Approved status having completed a linear profile and meeting the performance requirements for Approval in the Irish Sport Horse Studbook and two stallions met the requirements for Stage 1.

Commenting on the 2017 inspections, Alison Corbally, HSI Director of Breeding and Programmes, stated “with 30 stallions coming forward it was good to see the strong turnout of both Irish Draught and Irish Sport Horse stallions. There was some interesting bloodlines in the Irish Draught stallions that came forward it was also very positive to see overseas visitors making the trip over to the inspections”.
