GENERAL
CONNEMARA INFORMATION:
What
is a Connemara?
<<-- Click the green link to read about what makes this
breed so special and why once an owner, always an enthusiast!
Most of our FFC-bred Connemaras
are sold as youngsters (weanlings through 2 or 3 yrs old). Since
our foals are well handled and people-oriented with excellent
ground manners, they usually sell before starting under saddle,
when they are more affordable to most buyers.
R: Foothills Ashford
Connemaras
are bought for a variety of uses but most often are purchased
for some Jumping or other English Riding discipline such as pony
hunters, jumpers, foxhunting, eventing, or dressage. Additionally,
they often double as breeding stock or pleasure/trail mouts (including
the stallions) & are sometimes used for driving, endurance
or western riding.
Most
people buy young stock because there are more people wanting Connemaras than are available!
This is because once they are part of the family, owners aren't
easily persuaded to part with them!
