BANNVALLEY PRIDE OF MIDNIGHT . H, IRISH DRAUGHT, 2007
| Graded in 2011 with the IDHS Elvis is now a fully approved class 1 RID stallion. He sailed through the inspection and was the highest scoring stallion of 2011. He scored highly in all aspects of his conformation and movement. One of the inspectors commented ` he is a superb example of the breed, being very strong in areas where many of todays draughts are weak - he will be very good for the breed`
Elvis is lovely example of the irish draught breed, this good looking young stallion has it all, excellant conformation, good bone and wonderful movement - being straight, athletic and light on his feet. His temperament is second to none, with a kind, friendly disposition he is a joy to handle.
Bred in ireland Elvis has excellant breeding on both sides with a particulary strong mare line. His dam Carrickrock Midnight Dancer is a champion show mare, his grand dam Millhollow Starlet was the Leading Registered Irish Draught Show Mare of 2009 at the IDHBS awards and also took the prestigious RID mare championship at the Royal Dublin Show, his great grand dam is the Hornby Premium Mare, Roma Blue Wind, RID. A Supreme Champion in two countries, Blue Wind was Supreme Champion RID Mare at the Royal Dublin Show in Ireland in 1995 and in 1998, just to duplicate her wins in Great Britain. Not only an acclaimed show mare, Blue Wind is a great and consistent producer of Champions regardless of sire.
His sire Pride of Meath has sired many showjumpers, eventers, dressage and show horses.
Elvis has just started loose jumping, proving to be bold and careful with a huge jump, hopefully he will follow in his fathers footsteps and will be aimed at a jumping career alongside his stud duties.
