Not for me, they're stunning but I'm a warmblood girl :blush:

I'm trying to do a bit of research into connemara stallions standing at stud both in the UK and Ireland but am struggling to find much info online.
I have the British Connemara Society website and one or two english studs standing connie stallions but can't find any in Ireland and much less the 'proper' breed breed society page.

Anyone able to suggest stallions or help with websites please?
 
When I was looking for a youngster in Ireland, I got shown around a Connie Stud. It was called Look Out Stud. They had a couple of stallions there last year, who were very nice.
Clive was very enthusiastic and helpful. :)

This is great guys, keep em coming!

Does anyone know anything about Burning Daylight? Info? Pics of him and/or his progeny...
 
I have a 14.2hh Connemara x gelding by Templebready fear bui, not sure what he is crossed with as he's dam side of the passport is blank, But my boy is second to none temprement wise, scope wise etc he has a massive fan club and anyone that sits on him loves him, From now on i will only have a connemara or connemara x :D
 
http://www.cpbs.ie/ this is the Irish connemara pony society.

A lot of stallions are owned by individuals as well as studs but this site will point you to pedigrees and the database of all pedigree ponies registered and their breeders. There is lots of interesting information.
 
I met Templebready Fear Bui when he was in England. He is a fantastic stallion with a great record in producing offspring who have gone on to be extremely successful in show jumping and eventing. I believe he is back in Ireland now.
 
Peadar Murphy has several lovely Connie stallions standing at his Cullintra Stud in south east Ireland - Springfields Shadow, who we saw when we were visiting last year, is gorgeous. This is the link:

(You may see one or two WB stallions that you like as well - he's stands a couple of Carmel Ryan's stallions, Royal Concorde and Carmena Z - yum!)
 
We stood a connemara stallion at stud this year, His name is Robe Dark Knight.He's gone home to his owner for the winter and i dont have any pictures of him.He's a great pony,Dark bay 148cm by Robe Earl out of an Ashfield Cathal mare.He rides and drives perfectly even during the covering season. wasnt really a fan of connemaras either but he's nice.
 
2 lovely performance connemaras that i've used, the first is Builders Delight who i got a gorgeous filly from this year http://www.loughernestud.com/stallions/viewdetails.asp?ID=15

and the other is Gwennic de Goariva there is no website for him so I will post a pic he jumped over in France and is now standing with Tim Carey in Westmeath, I used him this year so won't know what the foal is like til May but he is v impressive in the flesh!

Yep, Templebready Fear Bui is back in Ireland again although I'm not sure how many mares he is covering, he is a good age now I believe.
We have a bay filly by him out of a Flagmount King (by King of Diamonds) mare. Now rising 3 and looking good, we are hoping she'll be a combination of both sire and dam...here's hoping!

Best advice you could get! Go to Clifden show & sales in August, even just to admire.....spent 3 days there this summer on a busman's hioliday & thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very impressive... I have a really good mare by Woodfield Sammy whom I cannot find much about. I know he has great breeding but nothing more, no photos, nothing!
 
Templebready Fear Bui is still covering and had over 80 mares last season, even though he is 22 i believe. He's standing near Cork in Ireland, along with his 4 yr old very impressive son, Darwin (who is also grade 1 connemara stallion).
 
I have the connie stallion Dark Stranger we are based in Cheshire. He was bred in Ireland and competed over there, then was sold to England, he is 21 years old now,he has the most amazing temperament i could ever wish for. We have about 20 connies and part breds here at the stud. I would never have anything else now :)
 
I used Coral Price twice. He is a Murphy's rebel horse.
Bred great bone and temp for me. He was up in Leitrim when I used him. Don't know where he is now though i think he has been sold on.
