Why Riders Worldwide Choose the Irish Sport Horse

Bred from generations of Irish Draught and Thoroughbred crosses, the Irish Sport Horse is prized for its brave, sensible temperament and natural jumping ability. Professionals and amateurs alike choose Irish horses because they are intelligent, athletic and genuinely kind to work with, in the stable and in the ring.

Ireland has produced winners at the highest levels of showjumping, eventing and the American hunter divisions for decades. Buying from the source gives you access to that depth of breeding at its best value. Learn more about our [Irish sport horses for sale] or read our Irish Sport Horse buyer’s guide.

Buying a Horse from Europe as a US Buyer

Importing a horse from Europe to the USA is simpler than most buyers expect when the right team manages it. JED Horses regularly sells to American clients, and you can buy the way that suits you: purchase confidently off detailed videos with independent vetting, or visit our Irish yard and try the horses yourself.

Tell us your brief – discipline, height, age, budget and rider experience.

View and trial – detailed videos first, then visit in person or trial through your trainer or agent.

Vetting and PPE – independent pre-purchase exams with full x-rays completed in Ireland before the horse travels.

Export and shipping – we coordinate quarantine, flights and ground transport to your barn. Most horses travel from Ireland to the USA within weeks of purchase, arriving fit and well handled.

Proven in the Ring

Horses developed at our Tipperary yard now compete with amateur and professional riders across the USA, the UK and Europe. Results matter to us long after the sale, and nothing makes us prouder than seeing a JED horse thrive with its new rider.
