Icarus Park Stud - Irish Draught Horses and Irish Sport Horses

Balty having a "freezing" holiday

27 May 2009

Balty’s bloodlines are a total outcross for Irish Draught and Irish Sport Horse breeding, WORLDWIDE. He exemplifies what a traditional purebred Irish Draught is… in height, bone, temperament, movement..

This week, after many months of deliberation, and overseas interest, I have finally decided to have semen frozen from Balty for worldwide export. This is not an easy decision to make, as it means at least 6 weeks of quarantine at the semen freezing farm, which is away from home! Balty landed on his feet when he arrived from Ireland last October, and has taken our Australian way of life in his stride, so hopefully he won’t mind his holiday away from home too much. (at least he will be having fun!)

Frozen semen will be available in August 2009, for the following countries – USA, United Kingdom, Ireland, European Union, New Zealand and of course Australia.
