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?

    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.
