It's such a lovely oppotunity for me to enjoy the Connemara community life and to see how th love for horses has been passed on from generation to generation ! Thank you,Terry !
There is no doubt here that the Connemara Pony is an abiding passion amongst many people. xx
This video was just a delight, from the alpacas to your charming young cousin's interview. Thank you for sharing your Irish world with us!
You are so welcome - I'm glad to share. My young cousin was very charming too! xx
Thank You Terri, What A Wonderful Day Out I had with the help of your Super video ❤
Delighted you enjoyed it Sally. Was a real boost to us xx
This was absolutely delightful and so much fun! Thank you so much for bringing us along, Terri! 🎉❤ And congratulations to your young cousin. I loved hearing the family history. So special!
I agree - family history is very special and I am so glad the younger generation are open to it and interested. xx
Beautiful - tears of Joy!
That's Connemara Ponies for you. They look right at you and you can see them as unique beings xxx
Yes and seeing all the people with the ponies and the other animals, the tap dancer, the musicians, everyone enjoying the day & not a cell phone in sight!!
Wonderful video Terri.I’m too of Irish descent and I carry a huge sense of pride for my family.It’s very important to carry on traditions more so now than any other time in history.Our lives are changing in the most insidious way and we must hold on to our traditions and freedom to express ourselves through our heritage.Our young people need to know the importance of tradition and how to keep it going and continue to pass it down through generations to come without being hindered❤
I totally agree. A lot of young people at the show seemed very aware, particularly as the government seems determined to destroy farming. xx
Without the Gaeilge language in Ireland and Gaelic in Scotland it is more like Disney world.
People are in denial. Go Raibh mhaith agat alig.
What a lovely young man Thomas is , thanks for taking us to this show Teri, very informative and beautiful ponies ❤
He is lovely - gives me hope for the future. xx
Thank you for a nice day out with the ponies and wonderful people of the earth.

Wonderful video Terry! I love Irish festival & show videos. So much to learn, thank you for the upload 😊. God bless the Irish keeping the old ways going, especially through the young people 👍.
Thanks @gloworm, it is lovely to see it all continuing xx
I was lucky enough when I visited there to see these wonderful horses, thanks for the lovely memory to that
Our pleasure! Good memories are so important xx
Such beautiful animals!
They are - beautiful in disposition as well. xx
Important and such a lovey video, community, culture, and family.
These shows and other agricultural events are just that - community, culture and family. So important! xx
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
I love horses 🐎 so much, they truly are gentle giants.
I just recently learned about our Irish ☘️ history and the love of horses 🐎 goes way back to our Irish ancestors have a strong connection to breeding horses. ❤️🐴
So thank you so much for sharing this amazing part of our Irish history. ☘️🐴❤️
Yes they are a big part of our heritage - have a look at the link in the box about the history of these ponies xx
It looks like a lovely fair! Thank you for sharing!
The ponies are definitely my favorite, so beautiful
It was a great day out. In past times more people were there but it is picking up again after the hiatus xx
If you had to get a pony, I would get a Connemara - they are really beautiful and gentle ponies. xx
😊SO LOVELY!!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it xx
So enjoyed this video…thank you for sharing! ❤😊
Great to hear that xx
What a lovely video! My first pony was a Welch, but I’ve admired the Connemara most of my life. There were nine in my area of America. Gorgeous landscape and animals love a fair. Missed seeing any knitting or crocheting. Thank you for this!!!
Sorry we missed the knitting. I had been sitting next to some crochet when I met my aunt. The animals seem to enjoy the day out too xx
Thanks Terri... I so enjoyed this... felt like I was there :) It's wonderful to see that these traditions are being kept alive and especially by the young generation. Beautiful ponies and lovely countryside and people, much love, Maria from Australia
Love to you too Maria. I agree it is wonderful to see these traditions now in the hands of young people. Makes me feel very happy. xx
I trust you enjoyed more than one !? Cheers Terri! 🍻Great footage here. Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it Melanie - I did have a couple more as we were walking that day xx
Just Look your Video,dear Terri
Here we have tiday a Lot of rain
Thanks for Sharing
Blessings and greetings from Daggy, Kiel, Germany ☘️☘️☘️ xxx
We had that lovely day and pretty much rain all week since. Blessings to you and more sunshine for all of us xx
What a fabulous insight into the local culture and heritage of the Connemara ponies. A treat to watch. Thank you Danu X 💚
Glad you enjoyed it Bernadette. Have a look at the Connemara Pony Breeders' Society, link in the box below, for some more information about this. xx
What a pleasant outing to share. Your young cousin and the other young people struck me. It happens I made a very rare trip to our large indoor shopping mall last week for some new trainers. Malls here are dying so I thought it might be kind of a sad visit, but like your pony show it was alive and vibrant and what delighted me most was all many the groups of young teens - their innocent excitement and simple enjoyments was a real pleasure. An agricultural local pony show/fair is surely nicer than a shopping mall, but whatever the location, how nice to really enjoy the real pleasure and joy of seeing young people out and interacting (and not in front of a TV on gaming devices😇) not yet under the pressures of adulthood.
It was indeed a very pleasant day out and the weather was a godsend. You are so right about the young people. They were very visible in their participation here and I was so happy to hear what Thomas was saying about his generation being very involved. They are under so much pressure at the moment and it is great to see them having some "just be" time . Hope you are keeping well - have something going in the post for you next week. xx
That looked wonderful and fun❤ have a great week
So glad you liked it. It was fun and wonderful and full of hope xx
What strange looking sheep Teri! Thank god these things are being revived!❤
Ha ha - some of them I have never seen before. Very unusual. It is great to know that the younger generations are interested still xx
Nothing better than a Guinness in Ireland after a wonderful day out. Looks like it would been a great time! ❤🍺
You are right Dwayne - a lovely day and a really great pint! Catching up with people and blessed with good weather, we couldn't have been luckier . Hope all is well with you xx
How wonderful to see the Connemara pony show. We used to go every year to the Clifden Pony Show. My own beautiful pony Mirage was half Connemara and half Arab, so she looked stunning in the summer and in the winter grew a long shaggy coat!
My boy is welshxarab. Looks like a teddy bear in winter then all sleek and handsome in summer. He was 33 this April and still going strong
This year is the centenary is you are thinking of coming. We could meet for a cuppa! xx
Glad to hear that. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Oh I wish I could come but not possible unfortunately this year. But I'll take a rain check on that cuppa! Would love to meet up with you one of these days. xxx
@@pantheistengland3422 He sounds wonderful!
That was so interesting thank you! Great to see the traditions are carrying on. I had a lovely Connemara mare when I was a teenager, and still think of her now, decades later! I live in Scotland and would love to come to a Connemara pony show in Ireland one day. 🐴❤️
I don't think anyone ever forgets their pony, especially if a Connemara!😃
Many Thanks Terry, Lol , young Thomas and all the beautiful creatures.
That was so enjoyable a beautiful day at the Pony show . Great interview with your cousin !
Loved the walk there thank you for sharing your lovely corner of the world!
Blessings from Manitoba Canada

Beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful day. Your cousin's story was really interesting. It's lovely to see the knowledge coming down the generations x
Thanks Kim - yes it was great to hear from him and to hear of his generation's interest. xx

Well trail riding with Willie Leahy on coast trail by the coastline.( He died 2021)

Glad you liked it - thank you! xx
Thank you Terri for sharing. Lovely ponies, my oldest daughter, who is now 35, had a lovely connemara pony when she turned 10. We called him Rocky and what a strong minded pony he was lol. I love all the country fairs, the history and having a bit of craic with my rural neighbours. An ancient one on the North coast we go to, about 50 miles from us, is the Aul Lammas Fair in Ballycastle. Its famous for the stalls that sell Dolce and Yellow man. X
Thanks for that Maxine - I just looked it up - it looks great. Hope to get there next year xx
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful day out. It's so great that the younger generation is going to continue these local traditions.
I totally agree! It is really heartening xx
Love it!!♥️♥️ County fairs use to be such fun in Oklahoma but not so much any more. Sure miss them. What a lovely walk you had. You are blessed.
Glad you enjoyed it NannyGranny - yeah, the shows and fairs took a beating but they are bouncing back! xx Hope yours do too. xx
Thankyou for sharing the day. The animals are very beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the animals - they are poetry in motion xx
Beautiful
Glad you think so Susanna xx

Thank you dear Terri for sharing this lovely event on your channel !!! I love getting to know about other cultures and the things that people enjoy, look after and cherish.
Me too - so fascinating and so often the same things. We are all (mostly) human after all, with the same desires and interests. You are right, we enjoy and cherish the same things xx
Super that you can just walk over to the country fair. Thanks for sharing how diverse it is.💖

I predict Thomas will be a great success in life…Well rounded young lad he is and very well spoken!
He is a young entrepreneur with his heart in the right place xx
I’ll betcha Thomas has had good strong guidance!
I was lucky enough to grow up with a Connemara pony. She was the best. Always saw the gopher holes whilst racing across meadows and avoided them. Loved going swimming in the neighborhood creek. Could pull a small cart. Oh how I loved her! Samantha was her name.
That's Connemara ponies for you - good at everything and great companions too. xx
So uplifting! Thank you, again!!
You are so welcome! Glad you found it uplifting. xx
That was a lovely piece from the pony show. Tapadh leat! 'S toil leam!😊💗🐎

Thank u so much. That was so great. I loved it. So valuable and important. Thanks again.

WONDERFUL! What beautiful mares and foals. Really interesting all that happened at the show, how your cousins family is keeping the breed going and youngsters are taking a deep interest in breeding these ponies too, may it long continue💖
Hear hear! I hope so too. xx
Wonderful story about the traditions relating to the Connemara Pony Breeders' Society! Thanks for sharing @Danu.
You re more than welcome. I love tradition and history so glad to share. xx
I have just found you! So pleased that I have, so have subscribed to your channel. I am from West Devon, and have a rescue greyhound called Madge. I am very into nature, and always have been, and the wild things. I am at my happiest amongst trees and water. Due to my severe anxiety, I only go out of my rural home to walk Madge. I sold the car, because I never used it, and get everything I need online. Blessings to you from Jilly & Madge xxx
Blessings to you too Jilly - and Madge. I hope you can find ways to relieve your anxiety. Going out with Madge is one of the best ways and trees can be great friends. xx
Truly beautiful breed of pony🥰😇
Yes indeed - and they make lovely companions and are great with children. xx
This was so wonderful! Love the ponies and all of the animals. Your cousin, Thomas, is such an inspiring artist! I'm glad you got to enjoy a nice Guiness at the end. What a fun day! 💚🐎🍺🍀
Thank you so much! xx
Fantastic video! There something special about vibrant and lively festivals, they feel very intimate. Thank you for the wonderful video 💛
