Video Saturday - Celebrating Connemaras

In honor of the Connemara ponies that dominated at the GHMA Training 3 Day this week, Video Saturday celebrates the hardy, elegant, personable Connemara pony.

Did you know the Connemara Pony is considered Ireland's only native breed?

This is a beautifully captured and edited clip featuring the Connemara pony in a breed show, and galloping through the hills of Ireland.


Donna Miller and her Connemara stallion Ardceltic Art placed second at the Chattahoochee Hills CIC* in May.  I remember how the pair caught my eye galloping across country against Chatt Hills' beautiful backdrop.


A clip from a documentary about a year in the life of a Connemara pony. Does anyone know what the name of this documentary is called? 

Connemara Pony Breed demo at the 2009 Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA. These ponies come in all shapes and colors, and have the talent to excel in many disciplines!

Thanks Leslie, loved the videos as always, I can't get enough of Connemaras!

That documentary is called 'Connemara and its Ponies', made in 1969 by David Shaw-Smith, a writer and filmmaker whose work chronicled Ireland's native crafts and culture.

The Connemara film is a great one.
