Latest news from the stud

Welcome to Coleraine Sport Horses.

We are located at Oxford on 20 acres of fertile former dairy pasture, which we are in the process of setting up for our horse breeding operation. In addition to the horses we rear up to 50 beef calves in the spring for sale at weaning. A small number are kept until yearlings and are great for improving pasture quality.

Oxford is a small town, nestled under the foothills of the Southern Alps and is only 45 minutes from our nearest city, Christchurch.

We are aiming to produce quality, well-handled young sport horses, with a preference for Irish sport horses. We are breeding to sell, generally as unbroken, ready for you to continue their education in your chosen discipline. We enjoy showing our youngsters inhand so where possible the youngsters are taken "out and about" as part of their handling as foals or yearlings.

We have now bred several mares to the RID stallion Coalman's Touch, and have been delighted with the foals. They all possess those wonderful irish temperaments and have stunning movement. Although predominately breeding irish sport horses, we also use other stallions if they impress us and suit our mares.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our website -- and maybe you will find the young horse of your dreams!
