The Connemara Pony National Stud

The Connemara Pony National Stud is at Renvyle in north-west County Galway, in the heart of Connemara. It is dedicated to the Connemara pony, Ireland’s native breed, long associated with the rough grazing and mountain ground of this part of the country.

Visitors can expect to see the ponies at close quarters and to learn about the breed, its characteristics and its place in the local farming tradition. Set among the mountains and Atlantic inlets of the Renvyle peninsula, it appeals to anyone with an interest in horses or in Connemara’s rural heritage.
