Emerald Isle is a small, exclusive stud that has its principles rooted in producing horses of outstanding pedigree and talent.
As one of the foundation studs for breeding sport horses in South Africa, it was one of the first to import a stallion from Europe 25 years ago. Sandor competed successfully both in South Africa and Europe and was the winner of many grand prixs, World Cup qualifiers and even a puissance competition clearing a wall in excess of 2 meters high. Sandor became the foundation stallion for our stud and was instrumental in producing some of the finest brood mares in the country. More recently we have embarked on a strategic move to using imported fresh and frozen semen on our special band of mares. With the explosion of phenomenal pedigrees available to us now, we determined not to limit ourselves to using our own stallions, but rather to give our mares the best possible chance of producing great sport horses. We are doing this by individually profiling our mares and pairing them with stallions best suited to their size, temperament and abilities. We have identified the need for the astute buyer, who may be looking for a horse for the future, to purchase their dream horse as an embryo. As a buyer, you may select one of the mares that are already in foal to a selected stallion. A deposit will secure your purchase, with a live foal guarantee. The balance of payment is due when the foal is born. The foal may be moved when it has been weaned. |
