🐴 Dennis & the Connemaras: A Conversation with Cáit Hennessy

Meet Dennis, our cheeky-yet-wise Connemara pony from the Hölö stables, and discover the remarkable history of Ireland’s treasured native breed. Did you know Connemara ponies are said to carry Spanish blood? When the Spanish Armada was shipwrecked off the Irish coast in 1588, legend has it that Andalusian horses swam ashore and mingled with the hardy local ponies. The result was a breed combining elegance and strength with resilience and kindness — the Connemara pony we know today. In this episode, we chat with Cáit Hennessy from the Connemara Pony Breeders’ Society about what makes Connemaras so special — their fascinating origins, gentle temperament, and incredible versatility, from trusted family ponies to performance stars. Cáit shares insights into breed type, welfare, and how the international Connemara community keeps quality and kindness at its heart. Whether you’re curious about the Armada story, want to understand what defines a true Connemara, or simply enjoy mindful pony moments, this episode has something for you. ✨ Settle in, breathe out, and enjoy Dennis’ gentle charm — plus expert wisdom from Cáit.
