Awarded Class 1 status in the R.I.D. Studbook in 2012, Dunsandle Diamond received a glowing profile report, robustly endorsing his attitude, care, scope under saddle, along with correct conformation and “free” movement.
As striking and distinctive as Dunsandle Diamond is, he may possibly be the exclusive ‘roan’ Class 1 RID stallion available worldwide. This interesting and new fafcet was brought to attention by a couple of Irish Draught breed enthusiasts from USA and Germany. Because Dunsandle Diamond is the rich genuine ‘roan’ colour that will not fade to grey and white, yet he himself has the ability to sire all regular colours of his offspring.
Dunsandle Diamond, himself placed 3rd in the RDS RID stallion class – a phenomenal achivement and the breaking of tradition of always either a grey or chestnut in the top placings.
Dunsandle Diamond has two stout characteristics which he reliably passes through to his offspring – his beautifully defined along with his magnificent movement. Displaying these qualities and more at the RDS a few years back, Dunsandle Diamond caught the eye of the owner of a Breeder’s champion mare. In 2018 this champion mare was bred to Dunsandle Diamond.
In Dunsandle Diamond, there is little left to desire and when you see this distinctive roan stallion score 100% for Attitude, he wins the breeders heart! Flaunting scope and technique show-jumping it is easy to relate Dunsandle Diamond to his outstanding Irish Draught inheritance.
2018 proved a productive and rewarding year for Dunsandle Diamond’s foals. In both pure-bred and ID sales in Cavan, his foals sold amongst the top of foal returns on those days. Both were chestnut colts and they found new homes with one of Ireland’s very best showing and show hunter producers. ‘Well pleased with our first purchase’ the buyers returned and purchased Mr Robert Gilmore’s colt in November.
At the ISA, All Ireland ID Filly Foal Championship 2017, Mr Adrian Burke’s filly foal by Dunsandle Diamond was placed 3rd in this prestigous and hard sought after final.
