can you get a connemara at 15.1hh?

[jodie :)]

i was just wondering as i've been researching the breed and sites say that the biggest they go up to is 14.2hh? I've seen some at 15.1hh and 15.2hh and just wondered if it was actually true?
sorry if it sounds like abit of a numpty question

yes, overheight conies are very popular - just means they are too big for showing etc

It would be what is called an 'overheight' Connemara. Look up the breed standards on a Showing site. Some shows will have 'unregistered' classes for them, but if you want a true type you need to stick to the breed standard. (And you will have to pay for it - they ain't cheap!)

The maximum height is 148cm, although the BCPS will allow you to show over height Connies in the part-bred classes.
