ISH questions

I joined the club for Irish Sport Horses
I absolutely love love love this breed but there isn't a whole lot of information about it on Horse Fable.
Is it a 50/50 cross of Irish Draught x TB ?
How many active players are working on the breed?
Does anyone want to partner up with me?
I bought some fairly nice TBs from horse sales (can't afford much since I just started) and got as many foundation Irish Draught as I could afford (and a couple foundie TBs too) without getting myself into financial trouble . . . I hope!
I do like to start things from the beginning so I dont mind working from foundation. I will work to discover what works and the Breed Standards of ID, TB and the cross itself :)
I don't care about color (except I hate grey/greying) as much as conformation and PS
I plan to “model” career my foundation horses to make money and level PS and such and won't breed until level 40/50+ as recommended. I hope to meet some other players interested in the ISH crossbreed campaign :)
hello!! fellow ISH lover here c:
the ISH is indeed a straight 50/50 of TB and ID. they are already a recognized/approved crossbreed, so there isn't a “campaign” for them really, but there are a small number of people that i've come across that do have them (like 5? but probs more)! hofa itself is also getting back on its feet with the new ownership, so as players either return or join i'm sure more people will be interested as well.
i'm generally a keep-my-breeds-to-myself type of player, but if you do need any breeding help down the line (i don't breed until at least age 15) just let me know! i'm also happy to try to support you as a new player (i have only been playing a couple weeks myself haha), so i can definitely send you the wild TBs or IDs i catch for free if you'd like. feel free to reach out any time if i can do anything for you

ISH all the way baby!!
I was looking for a couple of Irish Draught brood mares up for possible breeding with a couple of my nicer males, but I cannot afford 10k bits for a brood fee!! My money is rising at approximately 1600/day and I am not spending 4 days on ONE foal .. not yet at least! lol. Guess I have to wait until my own foundations are ready (level 50+ or 13+ years old, whichever comes first) I will be buying more foundation stock of TB & Irish draught as soon as I can afford them. Working on figuring out breeding standards so I can match better for star foals :)
i have ID mares but not close to lvl 50 yet. once they are, i'd be happy to do free breedings with you c:
trying to catch wilds in explore is also a free way to get them compared to foundation, the IDs are decently common! and there tends to be quite a few TBs cheap in sales as people cull their herd

Since I don't breed ISH, but I have powerful TBs, I could help and offer them up for stud. Especially some near level 100. Honestly even a level 80 and a level 20 horse would get you guys the 10 TB needed for the foals.
Either of you can message me with your ID mares or studs and I can try to find good pairings to produce wonderful ISH foals.
ah, you're amazing, thank you for the offer! it'll be some time before my IDs are ready, but i'll reach out once i am ready

Honestly, even if they are not level 50, I could still work with them, as I mentioned above. Even if you own a level 1 ID, some of my Thoroughbreds can honestly help carry via their level and high PS.
But if you wish to wait, that's fine. All my TB tabs are on ice/have been on ice so they aren't going anywhere any time soon.
