🐴 🍀 IS YOUR CONNEMARA STALLION ADVERTISED IN THE BRITISH CONNEMARA CHRONICLE? 🍀🐴
We are keen to showcase even more wonderful Connemara stallions standing at stud and help breeders get their stallions noticed! If you are standing a stallion at stud, why not enquire about advertising in the Connemara Chronicle?
But advertising isn't just limited to stallions at stud. We are also interested in hearing from equestrian businesses offering products and services to the Connemara Pony community, including equine transport, native pony saddlery, accommodation in Clifden and much more.
📩 Get in touch to discuss advertising opportunities.
🐎 Let's celebrate our stallions, support our breeders and bring the Connemara pony community together!
Please share with anyone who might be interested.
The British Connemara Pony Society would like to thank every single delegate who attended the second international connemara conference. We hope you all had a fantastic time and have been able to take home a lot of things to talk about.
Special thanks also go to Kerry and Kay for all the long hours of organising they put.
Also thanks to

Amy Canavan - Smith and the ponies and helpers.
I echo all of the previous comments. The whole weekend was superb, as was the educational part and the participatory sections too. A 5 ***** experience. Now l have to teach all the American Connemara folks how to RIDE a working hunter division! It was a privilege to attend. Thank you all.
This successful event is a reflection of what happens when a society works together for the Connemara pony. With inspections well organised for the improvement of the breed and impressive shows displaying the fortes of the pony. A society progressing, in a positive, happy direction to the pinnacle of its 80th celebration next year. Thank you and congratulations on behalf of the Connemara pony.☘️
It was a super weekend and so nice to see so many familiar faces from across the world and closer to home enjoying what was an extremely well run event. It was a pleasure for us to be involved with a breed that is very dear to our hearts!! Thank you Kerry Wainwright and the British Connemara Pony Society for inviting us to bring some ponies along for the weekend.
