Ballad of the Irish Horse

Narrated By Richard Kiley
Over the centuries, horses have captured hearts and minds of the Irish people. Nurtured by the mild climate and rich grasses, the horses of Ireland have always flourished. From magnificent wild stallions to sturdy work ponies and the elegant racing thoroughbreds-Ireland's horses are an enduring part of the country's history, work, and play. A romantic portrait of man and animal for viewers to treasure.

    at 7:00 has been found to be incorrect - archeologists found new evidence that the first people to come to the Island of Ireland, came 12,000 years ago not 9,000.

    Fun to remember a world before cell phones and palm pilots. :D I wonder if they are still doing it au Natureal at the Irish Stud Farm or if they are now making the stallions go in a receptacle.

    Nicky Pearson thoroughbreds are the one breed that must be served naturally with mare covered by stallion rather then artificial insemination. ..even today 😊

    No. Thoroughbred in horses is a specific breed, For example at about 30 minutes in they talked abut 3 Triple Crown Winners put up to stud there, one is Northern Dancer, who was a Canadian thorughbred which is a speed horse designed to run a mile and a quarter trak. There are other kinds of horse races, Arab races are longer (2 miles? I think) as Arabs are the hot blood but stanima horse and the Quarter Horse, an American warmblood breed is a sprinter that runs a quarter mile track (thus the name). Quarter horses are European horses mixed with Spenish horses that came up in the americas from the conquisadors.
