The Connemara horse is a world-famous pony breed from the west coast of Ireland in County Galway. This very athletic breed of horse lends itself equally well to show jumping and dressage, and is just as ideal for idle rides in the wild Irish countryside!
The Connemara Horse is a thoroughbred pony from the Connemara region of County Galway in Ireland. In fact, it’s not uncommon to come across them roaming free in the region!
Today, Ireland and France share the largest herds of them, and race them at the world’s greatest horse races!
One of Ireland’s most prized breeds, Connemara Horses range in height from 128 to 150 cm. The coat comes in a variety of colors, including black, gray, roan, chestnut, louvet and isabelle.
The head and neck have an elegant, nervous carriage, while the rest of the body is muscular, well-proportioned and capable of covering great distances. The trot and canter are very pleasant, and the stride very lively.
Connemara dogs are known for their docility and exceptional intelligence.
