Ringfort Butterfly - SOLD
By Boherdeal Clover out of Ringfort Opera by Ohio by Iroko. She is a six year old brown filly with SJI points to 1.10m. Perfect temperament and good mover as well as brave cross country. She will excel at eventing or showjumping. I cannot speak too highly about this little mare. She is just over 16 h.h. so would be perfect for a rider moving out of ponies, or for a woman, girl or small adult. In and out of the stable she is calm, sweet and totally attentive to her work. Actually she is a million dollar horse!
Ringfort Ballygoskin - SOLD
By Luidam out of Ringfort Tinkarula by Ringfort Tinkatoo by Tinka's Boy. Three year old brown gelding with paces, presence and athleticism. He is well developed and should be ready for three-year-old classes. See details of LUIDAM and on video by link below.
Ringfort Rua
Ringfort Rua
This is another young horse by Luidam - pictured as a two year old and now three years old - and out of Ringfort Rara Ruby by embryo transfer as she had, before her injury, been long listed for the Olympics in Hong Kong, and this was effected to have her out of training for only a short three week period. Rua is a chesnut like his sire, and has three of the most perfect paces I have ever seen on a young horse. Like most of the young stock on the farm his temperament is exemplary.
Ringfort Rubicon

By Iroko out of Ringfort Rara Ruby. Now a three year old bay gelding with a fabulous future – he has the paces, athleticism, and pedigree - he should go all the way in whatever discipline. See details of his sire Iroko
Ringfort Redwood (Blondie)
Reminder to self: must get photograph of Blondie as a three year old! See picture of him hunting as a rising four year old January 2012
By Iroko out of Renkum Inglewood. Very scopey three year old chestnut gelding with flaxen mane and tail. See details of Iroko above.
