The Connemara Pony originated in Ireland, with the native ponies ranging in height from 12.2 hands to 14.2 hands. The North American version of this pony is a little taller, ranging from 13 hands to over 15 hands. The primary coat colors are gray, bay, brown, and dun, with some roans, and the occasional black, chestnut, or palomino. Connemara Ponies that are pinto colored cannot be registered.
