Connemara, breed of pony native to the Connemara area of Ireland, used as general riding ponies for adults and children and as jumpers and show ponies. Docile, hardy, and surefooted, they have compact bodies and range from 13.2 to 15 hands (about 54 to 60 inches, or 137 to 152 cm) tall. Most colours are found. Thoroughbred and other blood lines have been introduced to modify the breed. In the United States, Connemaras are registered with the American Connemara Pony Society.
