Connemaras are a large pony originally from the west coast of Ireland. They are well known for their athletic ability, versatility, and good temperaments. For over fifty years, Connemaras in Canada were registered in the United States, but their growing popularity and numbers warranted the formation of the Canadian Connemara Pony Society in 2006 to register pure and halfbred Connemaras. Our registry and membership is kept by Canadian Livestock Records Corporation (CLRC) and their webpage gives details of our membership and registered ponies.
The CCPS is recognized by the parent Irish Society and is a member of the International Committee of Connemara Pony Societies.
