Connies are the best! Turns her hoof to anything, winters rugless, is barefoot, minimal feed etc. So easy.
She’s a big Labrador personality wise. Hates horses with a passion but loves people and tolerates my annoying dog. Safe as houses out hacking. The perfect level of sassy but safe to ride in the school. Will try it on but never nasty or unsafe.
Pics of your connie are needed!

Connies are the best ponies ever. No one can convince me otherwise ? they will do anything you ask, they are so versatile. Generally speaking they are very laid back temperament wise however my girl was an absolute balloon if she was either a) hacking with more than one other (ooo more than one friend, we MUST be hunting! ?) or b) there was so much as a jumping pole in sight.
But she was absolute the best pony I have ever had. I miss her terribly - she was a pb. 50% Connie 50% welsh c. I lost her last year aged 10, she gave me 10 amazing years that I will never forget.

The most beautiful pony I have ever met but a real diva quirky and very intelligent. Handled sensitively she turns her hoof to anything but anything less is a disaster

She looks really sweet but I'm thinking not a full connie, do you know what shes mixed with?

A couple people have said this! She’s being sold as a Connie but is unregistered so I don’t know her breeding so not sure!
she’s amazing either way!
She came over from Ireland a year ago.

14.1. Suits me perfectly at only 5ft2 but mum also looks fine on her at 5ft6. The one benefit of those native barrel bodies!

Still wittering on
Dolly is pure Connie and a total superstar. Safe, kind, friendly, genuine and talented. Still only 7 and in her first season at BE90 and hasn’t had a XC fault all season. And only 2 SJ fences. About to step up to BE 100. She is a total unicorn pony.
