Connemara Pony  - Makes for both an excellent child or adult's pony.

Connemara Ponies have existed in Western Ireland for many years although the exact origins of the ponies are unclear. The Connemara was used as a pack pony carrying seaweed, peat, corn and potatoes to market; they were also used for agricultural work.

The Connemara pony breed is a larger pony which occasionally matures over 14.2 hands, but usually stands 13 to 14.2 hands. They are most usually grey, but bay, black, brown, dun, and occasionally roan, chestnut and palomino.

The Connemara has a well shaped head, compact body, with a medium length neck, fine sloping shoulder, strong back, well developed quarters and short legs. They are robust and strong. They are also good natured, tempered, sensible and intelligent with good jumping ability. All this makes the Connemara both an excellent child or adult's pony. They are ideal for show jumping and driving. For a quote click here and feel good >> Connemara Pony Insurance Quote
