Submitted by Sarah Karlonas: My daughter and our Connemara, Prince. The photo is from a few years ago and now they are becoming an amazing team both under saddle and in hand. Prince is gentle, kind, brave, and protective of his little person. Every pony deserves a little girl to love them unconditionally. Photo by Hannah Beebe Photography ❤️
We recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite Connemara or Connemara cross, and tell us a little about them, for a chance to be featured in an upcoming gallery right here! We will be sharing stories from folks who love this breed all month long.
Did you know that dressage riders who choose a Connemara as their dressage mount are eligible for special awards through the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards program, as the American Connemara Pony Society (https://www.acps.org) is a participating organization?
