The Irish Draught horse is not (despite its name) typical of the draught type. It is a handsome, athletic sport horse with an excellent temperament and is widely used for crossing with the thoroughbred or near thoroughbred to produce a first rate competition horse or hunter. Pure bred examples of the breed have excelled in show jumping, in particular.
