Connemara pony

Ireland, no question.

I love the Connemara ponies.

Would love to have a Connemara pony.

They're the cutest, they're the sweetest, and they're fast and fun.

I think they're awesome horses.

What?

He's my four-year-old Connemara pony, and he is a total legend but also a total diva.

When I'm trying to tack him up, he will not stand still.

He dances around, tries to eat my phone, and after my phone, he tries to eat me.

I'm like, I'm just going to, yeah, put jewels up for sale, which I've been putting off for ages, and a new splash was going back, and so I was like, let's just get it done in all weekends, and then it'll be yeah i think so that that was what was in my head it's a it's a funny torn mix of emotions and um and you're right like i really want you know liz is one of my best friends i really want her to have a horse but she needs a horse she deserves support it's her horse like he's just the most amazing person and she needs that in her life um so then you feel guilty which brings another thing because i feel guilty because i don't really you know want to give him back so i don't want our journey to end and um And then the duels, that's a whole different thing.

But actually it was really interesting talking to Sam Richmond, Samantha Richmond on the podcast and the journey that she took with Adara, her little grey Connemara before she kind of just realised I just want a bit more, but it feels a selfish decision because essentially like you're selling your best mate because you want more and that feels selfish, you know, to do that.

And I know you can reframe it, but in my head at the moment, this is how um i feel and i'm very lucky that um you know she's at home so i don't have um the constraints of a livery bill so unless she finds her next person she won't go anywhere which is such a fortunate position to be in because not everyone is lucky enough to be in that position and i'd rather keep her and enjoy her and put her around and everything else but yeah it's just been a real roller coaster of like and then when you get a bit tired and throw a bit of tiredness in the mix and we're at another camp and you know and all that kind of stuff and you're like well it's quite a lot so yeah there's a lot of nuts yeah

i think i think it's a massive amount to be to be chucking about above your head squirrel and actually i'm really proud of you for holding your nuts together as much as you have for one of them yeah i

mean? There's a Connemara making its way.

No. Connemara Pony.

I got her a...

Yeah, you're right.

It is characterized by its dun color, primitive markings including a dorsal stripe, and a distinctive mane that is traditionally trimmed to stand upright in a crescent shape.

The Connemara Pony from the west coast of Ireland is the largest of the pony breeds and is known for its jumping ability.

Connemaras regularly compete alongside full-sized horses in show jumping and eventing.

The Shetland Pony from the Shetland Islands off the northern coast of Scotland is one of the smallest and strongest horses relative to its size.
