I backed my first homebred Connemara this weekend and it really was a dream come true and the thought I will have her in the ring next year is so exciting! She has taken it all in her stride, I very nearly sold her as I have no time at all... but I knew there was a reason I wouldn't let her go!

Very nice. How is she bred? If she is anything like my connie (so laid back he is horizontal!!) she will be fine even if you are struggling for time with her. Good luck with her

She is by my stallion kilimazing merlin (by carra cashel) and out of lockinge polyanthus. Her dam was lazy to ride, so I hope she isn't too laid back like her!!

What a lovely true to type pony !! So many connies look way to horsey !! She is a very pretty girl and you look fab together.

Thank you! I've had some really difficult times with this pony and struggled for the time she has needed to be spent on her, juggling between her and my job, but it's finally all paying off and she has turned in to such a gem of a pony! Judge wasn't keen on her at all at the show, though I still thought she was the most beautiful :-D onwards and upwards to the next one.

Don't be put off. Different judges like different types. Some judges love my connie and some don't give him a second look. That's the joys of showing! Enjoy her
