One of our most famous in-mates was Blue Cliff and was a day short of his 29th birthday when he died. He has been described in national publications as one of Ireland’s national institutions in the equine world in the half-bred industry. His long and most fruitful career was extraordinary and his contribution to the horse industry was incalculable. Despite his passing in 1984, he continued to impact in the world of In-Hand Showing and Show Jumping both in Ireland and Internationally. Blue Cliff held the record at the R.D.S. Horse Show for siring the most show class winners by any one stallion.
Golden Cliff T.B. (son of Blue Cliff by Lionels Yearswas) at one time, the prolific sire of top class International Show Jumpers, the most famous being Diamond Cliff bred in Ireland and owned by Martin Donohue in England and was successfully campaigned in the international show jumping world by John Whittaker. Other leading Golden Cliff stock included Ard Lulu (Sweeden’s Nations Team member), Grey Cliff and Bilko Boy.
