The Galway Connemara | boutiques The Autobiography of an Irish Connemara Pony. If horses

In a field beside the wild, rugged Atlantic coastline of Galway, a Connemara pony called Lir is born during a huge storm. In this heartwarming autobiography, Lir tells the story of his life in his own words, from his early days as a playful foal, through the many chapters of his life around Ireland. As Lir moves from one owner to the next, his adventures take him from the stone walls of Galway to the serene pastures of Kildare and beyond. Along the way, Lir meets a variety of people-some who treat him with kindness and respect, and others who see him as nothing more than a tool to be used. Through his experiences in showjumping, eventing and dressage yards, Lir learns about the complexities of human nature and the power of resilience.

"The Galway Connemara" is a treasure trove of horse training knowledge and practices. Through Lirs eyes, readers learn the importance of treating animals with empathy, kindness and respect. Join Lir as he navigates the ups and downs of his life, making friends, learning lessons, and always searching for that one place where he truly belongs.
