Farpoint Erin RID (imp UK)
Registered Irish Draught (purebred)

Erin was bred in West Yorkshire, UK and the stud imported her into Australia in 2012 in foal to Bealagh Blue RID (UK dec.). Erin is a correct true to type Irish Draught, of course good bone, movement and a great temperament.  She has been shown lightly in the UK, and we plan to show her in Australia, led and under saddle. 

Erin's sire, Hillviewfarm Milligan RID stands at Coosheen Stud, Lancashire, UK. He is a 'truly outstanding example of the Irish Draught, he has the rare combination of bone, substance and exceptional straight movement.  He carries both traditional lines through his dam and performance lines through his sire.' Erin's bloodlines include Attwood Black Laughton RID, Legaun Prince RID, Rakish Paddy RID, Grey Macha RID, Ballinrobe Boy RID and Enniskeane Prince RID, combining traditional with performance, all well known and performed Irish Draughts. 


The sire of Erin's in utero foal, Bealagh Blue is the sire of two RID approved stallions, Ballineen It's William RID now in Ireland, and Ballineen Blue Mountain RID, now in New Zealand.  

In June 2013 Erin had her first foal at Icarus Park Stud, a bay purebred filly, called Enid.  We look forward to Erin and Enid as foundation stock for our stud.
