Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was in Ireland that the Irish Draught horse first appeared as a distinct breed. It has a reputation for being adaptable, powerful, and mild-mannered. These horses are bred for a wide variety of equestrian uses, but their primary purpose is in agriculture, particularly as working horses on farms. Among the most distinguishing features of the Irish Draught horses are: - Irish Draught horses are built for hard work, such as plowing fields or pulling heavy loads, due to their strength and stamina. - Extremely adaptable, these horses thrive in a wide range of equestrian activities from show jumping and dressage to eventing and even hunting. They are also bred with other horse breeds in an effort to improve the overall species. - Irish Draught horses have a laid-back and sociable demeanor that makes them great for riding in a variety of settings. They have a reputation for being calm and easygoing. - Conformationally, these horses are typically of good size and proportion, with strong backs and healthy legs. Their broad, short head and large, expressive eyes set them apart. - Coat Color: Irish Draught horses come in various coat colors, including gray, bay, and chestnut, among others. The breed's history can be traced back several centuries in Ireland, where they were developed to meet the agricultural and transportation needs of the time. Despite the fact that their use in farming has decreased as a result of mechanization, Quarter Horses remain a popular breed thanks to their many desirable qualities and their role in the development of other horse breeds. Irish horses come in a variety of forms, including the more common Irish Draught and the more modern Irish Sport Horse. Incorporating the Draught's strength and temperament with the agility of lighter horse breeds, this crossbreed is bred for performance in show jumping, eventing, and dressage.

Download or read book An Economic History of Ireland Since Independence written by Andy Bielenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a cogent summary of the economic history of the Irish Free State/Republic of Ireland. It takes the Irish story from the 1920s right through to the present, providing an excellent case study of one of many European states which obtained independence during and after the First World War. The book covers the transition to protectionism and import substitution between the 1930s and the 1950s and the second major transition to trade liberalisation from the 1960s. In a wider European context, the Irish experience since EEC entry in 1973 was the most extreme European example of the achievement of industrialisation through foreign direct investment. The eager adoption of successive governments in recent decades of a neo-liberal economic model, more particularly de-regulation in banking and construction, has recently led the Republic of Ireland to the most extreme economic crash of any western society since the Great Depression.
