Winning double from O'Hare

The Irish Field - December 7th, 2002

Nicholas O'Hare is one of The Irish Field's longest standing and most respected contributors.

Over the years he has published numerous books. He has now added two more to his already well established stable and is in the process of writing a third, The Modern Connemara, which will be published next Spring.

The first of this year's offerings. The Irish Sport Horse, with a wonderful picture of Cruising and Trevor Coyle jumping in the Kerrygold Horse Show on the cover, gives O'Hare full rein on his favourite topic - the development of sport horse breeding in Ireland.

The leading sires, both contemporary and historical, all feature as the book winds its way through the breeding cycle of the Irish sport horse.

It successes on the national and international stage are all highlighted and the so-called "warmblood invasion" is also discussed.

This is a must for anyone interested in sport horse breeding, and O'Hare's second work for 2002, The Modern Irish Draught is another important work for the serious breeder.

King of Diamonds, Clover Hill, Pride ofShaunlara, Ben Purple, Laughton and Slievenamon are including in the backbreeding of so many horses and O'Hare goes through them all.

The book has been produced specifically to "widen the knowledge and outlook of Irish horse lovers who have the burden of ensuring that the Irish Draught is not lost in the fateful years that lie ahead." If anyone can ensure that the Irish Draught horse is not lost, that person is Nicholas O'Hare. Buy his books and inform yourselves.
