Shes a rough looking thing.. Yet the mare she was out of is a lovely animal... Gonna give her a while longer see if she surprises me but I doubt it, dont think she'll be worth breaking in even... If I can get 250-300 for her from the knackers yard next summer i'll be delighted. Im confident that next year I will be buying another horse for my fella Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcher330 2,301 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Nice filly Gem,we have a Caviler bred horse aswell,great to jump and very brave,will attempt anything he is but to,but very easy to ride and well mannered but i think you should give the connemarra a chance ,they can make a great ride and drive pony. we have a couple and they are great for the kids and strong enough for me to ride as well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sowhat 1,572 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Some cracking looking oses the nearest thing to me owning one, was when I was a pony driver at Oxcroft colliery many moons ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hes a nice looking horse alright l330, will be at least 6-12mths before the connemara x is big enough for the factory... If all of a sudden she turns out to be a looker I will sell her at drumshanbo instead, but it costs as much to keep a bad horse as it does a good one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have had some great looking horses that where wankers and a few butt headed ugly cobs that where worth their weight in gold when it came to pulling carriages around Dublin City,but unless you train her and put the time in you will never know 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He will stil need a hunter in the next year or 2 and we only really have 7acres to graze them on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
