About the Connemara

The Connemara is a hardy, calm pony standing 132–147 cm, primarily gray in colour. It excels across show jumping, dressage, eventing, endurance, and harness, suiting both children and adults. This versatile breed originates from the Connemara region on Ireland's rugged west coast. Its studbook was established in 1923, with the first volume published in 1926.
