Overview

Kleary’s M&M (Mike) is a 2015 total outcross purebred Irish Draught stallion. Mike is the only living stallion son of Mountain Pearl in North America. Mike’s dam, Moorpark Girl is one of a limited number of purebred direct descendants of Moorpark Boy.

Mountain Pearl offspring are valued for their amateur-friendly disposition especially for jumping and for an exceptional work-ethic. Moorpark Boy was a working lumber horse strong and hearty. 

Mike exhibits the amazing temperament Irish Draughts have been valued for the world over. Neither heavy nor slow, Mike will contribute that temperament along with substance and bone. 

Mike has all female riders, one of whom is his petite breeder/owner Lucinda who is an amateur 3-day eventer. Lucinda took Mike to his very first show, a local Dressage schooling show as a 5 year old. Mike placed 2nd in Novice at his first 3-day Event at Ram Tap in April 2023, finishing on his Dressage score.

As a foundation breed, the Irish Draught is a proven cross with blood mares to produce an amateur-friendly and sporty half-bred. All partbred offspring of Kleary's M&M are eligible for Certificate of Pedigree registration with the Irish Draught Horse Society of North America. Purebred offspring are eligible for registration with IDHSNA.

Performance

In 2023, Mike completed three 3-day Events placing 2nd twice at Novice level. His only cross country penalty to date was for speeding at his USEA debut.

Mike attended his very first show, a local Dressage schooling show as a 5 year old ridden by his petite breeder/owner. Mike's dam and half-sister both have Bronze Merit in Dressage from the Irish Draught Horse Society of North America (IDHSNA).

Offspring

Mike's 2021 purebred colt Klearys Big Dreaming placed 3rd at the USEA Future Event Horse West Coast Championships in 2022. He qualified by winning the USEA Future Event Horse Yearling class in Spokane, WA. Quite a feat for a foundation breed! Klearys Big Dreaming's Championship score was the best in the Nation for a purebred Irish Draught.

In 2023, Mike had three lovely bay fillies. All 3 mares took on the first cycle with frozen semen.
