Irish is a 15.3hh, 1998 chestnut gelding by Elphin Cronan, out of a TB mare called Christa Jewell. He is the third of four full brothers and is owned by Vicki Davies of Salmon Arm, British Columbia. According to Vicki:
"Christa's first foal is about 9 years old, and he sold to Santa Rosa, California about a year ago. Her second foal is 6 yrs old and some people in my area own him. He is very cute, about 15.1hh, but is more of a pony mover. He can jump anything though!!! Her last baby is a yearling, and he is stunning. I can't wait to see him in a couple of years."

Vicki says of Irish "He is super scopey, with a huge stride. 'Irish's' first competative season consisted of 6 events, 3 jumper shows and 2 dressage shows (one of which he got high percentage). He has amazing character. He has started to realize that those x-country fences aren't all that scary. He has never refused, but his eyes bug right out of his head! He's too curious to stop. My goal in a few years is to ride him for sure prelim, and hopefully intermediate."

An update in Irish from Vicki: "I sold Irish this year[2005] in August to Georgia McGillivray of Victoria B.C. In the past 2 years I competed him in the 3ft6 and 3ft9 jumpers, and did a fair bit of dressage. He finished in 2004 with a top dressage score of 77%! Irish and his new jr. rider Georgia, will be seen eventing in B.C. in 2006 - watch for this promising pair! Irish finished at a whopping 16hh!"

As of 2007, Irish is now co-owned by Glynis Schultz of Brentwood Bay, B.C, and Vicki Davies. Irish & Glynis finished 2nd in the BC eventing year end standings for sr. training level and competed in 2 prelim events.
