Profile
Pallas Digion is a truly exceptional stallion combining the best of two athletic breeds; he has the movement, endurance, speed, and intelligence of the Thoroughbred, and the temperament, bone, boldness and trainability of the Irish Draught.  Pallas Digion was Grade E Show Jumper Champion in Ireland before coming to the U.S.A.  Though primarily purchased for breeding, in 1998 Pallas was shown in International speed classes, placing consistently in the ribbons at shows in West Palm Beach, Upperville and Kentucky. He is a very successful jumper, and promises to be an influential force to sport horse breeding in this country.

Offspring   [Offspring Gallery]
Pallas Digion has been standing in the US since 1996 and his first offspring are developing into impressive, athletic young prospects. Pallas has been a very consistent producer with both TB mares and Warmbloods pedigrees. Impressive movement, good bone, and wonderful dispositions are repeatedly reproduced. These athletic offspring will undoubtedly excel in eventing, dressage and of course, show jumping.

Lineage
The breeding of the Irish Sport Horse was years before its time. The combination of the Irish horse with the European Thoroughbred for jumping, eventing, and dressage has produced top competitors in today's International equestrian events. ISH horses are among the top 25 competition horses in the world (World Breeding Federation of Sport Horses rankings) in show jumping, eventing and dressage.

Pallas Digion's talent as a modern sport horse is truly hereditary. His sire, Ceredigion, was a leading sire of show jumpers and event horses in Ireland and Europe. His dam is out of the world renowned King of Diamonds ISH line. This line has produced such international jumpers as Mill Pearl, Millstreet Ruby, Special Envoy and more.
