Irish horse breeds

Hi, I know this game already has hundreds of horse breeds, but it doesn't have every breed. There's 2 irish horse breeds that are missing, that I would be very appreciative if they were added. I put some information about each breed, so that if it is added, you know what to put as the eval for that breed.

Irish Warmblood
Simular to the Irish Sport Horse, they are stocky, and on the taller side of horses. They are very horse like, with long legs, and a medium-length body.


Irish Cob
Stocky, and pony like, they are relitively small, with short legs, and wide backs. They tend to be 14-16 hands high.

Irish Cobs are already in the game. They are the same thing as the Gypsy Vanner. Source.

Irish Warmbloods, on the other hand, are basically unknown. The breed was only founded in 2008 and I can find no mention of them outside of their own website and one other. There are only sixteen stallions approved with them, each one of which is registered as a different breed (links go to pedigrees of said horses): Considering how young the breed is, how unknown it is, and how each of its publicly recognized members is dully registered as another breed, it would make sense to leave this one out. Especially as many young breeds, like this one, do not make it in the long run. If this breed continues past its founders (either their demise or loss or interest) then perhaps it has some staying power. As it is, I feel that it is much too young and unestablished to merit consideration.

Thanks, sorry about this, though I'm fairly sure that I herd somewere the Irish Cob is different than the Gypsy Vanner
