Those found in the Connemara heaths or the Donegal hills have been tamed. Usually, they have grey-white coats although some are black or chestnut. The first of these ponies originated from the Alps and were probably brought in by the Celts. Since then, they have been crossbred with purebred Arab species. Enthusiasts should not miss the Connemara Pony Show which is held annually in mid-August in the small town of Clifden, not far from Galway.
