The Irish Sport Horse (US: Irish Draught Sports Horse), also known as the Irish Hunter, is mainly the result of a cross between the Irish Draught and the Thoroughbred.
The Irish Horse combines the best elements of both the Irish Draft, having their sense, honesty, and charisma, and the Thoroughbred, from whom they inherit their athletic ability, speed, and endurance.

The Irish horse has had Thoroughbred and Connemara influences, giving it great scope and athleticism as well as a kind nature and excellent all round conformation and action.
