Aurora Skys Equestrian Center will soon be breeding our own Irish Palouse Horses. We are so excited. We have a new family for everyone to meet that will be working with our Appaloosa's, Irish Drafts and our Irish Palouses. The O'Shea family have been working with Irish Drafts for many years but the Appaloosa are new to them since they are not native to Ireland. You can find our Foundation stock on their appropriate pages under the Irish Palouse Program Tab above.
10/19/14: Our first crop of Appaloosa foals have arrived with 4 gorgeous foals. We have been graced with 2 fillies and 2 colts for our program. These precious additions can be found by clicking the 1st Generation button at the bottom of the Appaloosa tab or by the drop down above.
