Some horses are born to greatness. O'Leary's Irish Diamond scored the highest confirmation marks in Ireland, and following his sale to Jim and Karen Leary, became the only RID (Registered Irish Draught) stallion ever performance-tested and approved in America by the Irish Horse Board. Thanks to his pedigree, which has produced jumping and dressage stars such as Custom Made, Mill Pearl, Special Envoy, Pinon Muldoon, Joe II, Drury Ladd and Milstreet Ruby, the 16.2-hand grey needed no formal introduction to the international dressage or show jumping worlds. According to his present owner, Melissa Cason-Kinney, "this is one Diamond that shines with equal brilliance wherever he performs."
