Frosty, or Frozzie, as he is known to us, is a lovely young stallion, sired by Crosstown Dancer RID (Ire) out of Hararis, a performance thoroughbred mare.  He was broken to saddle in 2005 and was lightly ridden then, showing willingness and enthusiasm for his work.  His movement is BIG, with expressive flowing paces, and true sport horse athleticism.  He has an outstanding easy going temperament, and correct conformation.

Frosty’s ridden career re-commenced in February this year (2008), in preparation for the Royal Melbourne Horse Show, that for the first time had Irish Draught and Irish Sport Horse Classes.  He is currently in work, competing at training level riding club events and will start jumping soon.

Frosty was conceived in Australia, using frozen semen from Ireland. He is the only progeny in Australia conceived by frozen semen, of the highly acclaimed Crosstown Dancer (visit Crosstown Stud Ireland), three time champion Irish Draught stallion at the Royal Dublin Show.  His dam was a very competitive thoroughbred event mare in her day, now retired.  His great grandsire, King of Diamonds was a prolific producer of international showjumpers, and currently many talented Irish Sport Horses have King of Diamonds blood in their pedigrees.

Breeding to Icarus Frosty

Frosty suits sport horse breeders wanting to produce an athletic horse, with jumping ability, movement and a cool trainable Irish Draught temperament.  Frosty is available to Irish Sport Horses, Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods and pony mares, plus mares that have performed well in dressage, showjumping or eventing.

Size does matter!!  Frosty is not a huge sport horse, and this attribute makes him a fantastic and sensible choice of sire for large mares, hunter/showjumper pony types and maiden mares.

Frosty commenced stud work in 2005, with 100% fertility on first service. This fertile trend has continued in 2006-7, and 2007-8.  He is available at public stud, for the 2008 breeding season.

Give us a call, or email and arrange to meet Frosty, we love to show him off, and he enjoys visitors.
