Irish Sport Horse Studbook – Linear Profiling Report 2024
- 31 January 2025, 09:46
The Irish Sport Horse studbook complete additional linear profiling of Irish Sport Horses each year. The objective of this project is to collect linear profiles of Irish Sport Horses at the DAFM Studbook Series and RDS loose jumping qualifiers. These linear profiles are added to the already existing database of profiles collected at both studbook inspections and shows. The 2024 linear profiling project was conducted over four days at four different events across two disciplines. A total of 121 animals were profiled; this included 44 mares and 77 stallions/geldings.
It is important to obtain linear profiles on high performance horses as well as the breeding population in order to build a robust base population for genetic and genomic analysis.
The report outlines what linear profiling is and outlines the results from both the show jumping and eventing disciplines.

This report was funded by the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM) Equine Technical Support Scheme.
