Temple Bar, named for one of the trendiest areas in Dublin because of his flashy coloration, is a very gregarious and comic two year old gelding. Temple is a very rare son of Rock Ranch Nelson—a stallion that produces primarily fillies. Temple is out of our imported Irish mare, Parnell’s Muireann, and will probably mature to 14.1 - 14.2 hh. He will be traditional in size and shape. With his flashy tobiano coloration and a beautiful refined head that is getting harder to find in colts! Temple’s inquisitive mind and gentle nature make him a natural for any discipline that requires problem solving, and he should also excel at trail riding.  Temple is registered with the American Gypsy Horse Registry.

In July 2010, we donated Temple to the American Gypsy Horse Angel Foundation (www.AGHAF.org) for use in their Gypsy Horse Angel program.  We are very pleased that Temple has started his life of service at the Hearts and Horses Therapeutic Riding Center in Loveland, CO (which is just down the road a bit from the Irish Rose Farm!).  Even though he won’t be started under saddle until next Spring, Temple has already become a favorite of clients and staff alike!  You can track his progress by visiting the website for Hearts and Horses (www.heartsandhorses.org).
