Hi from Ireland, from 2015 some ISH (Irish Sport Horses) have also (ITH) included after their name i.e. eventer Kilronan (ISH) (TIH) it stands for Traditional Irish Horse. They have a Facebook page.
ive seen AES and ZANG i cant find the breed of horse for theses abbreviations.
I found this while trying to find out what ZANG stood for as well. It is ZANGERSHEIDE.
I am also wondering about AES and ZANG. I have also seen HESS and I'm dying to k ow what it means!
