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 !
That looks like it's tons of fun to visit and also be involved in. What a perfect weather day for it as well. Thomas' wood burning pieces are awesome. He's a very talented young man.
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. ☘️🐴❤️
So much fun, and such a historical and wonderful community tradition! Young Thomas is a reminder of the new generation we are so happy to see, grounded, intellegent, creative and motivated to continue the traditions with the most beautiful horses EVER. Thanks for letting us tag along, it is a breath of fresh Irish air! Terri and Lol your work (and play) bring so much JOY to people!
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
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!
Hello terri, oh my a wonderful day out film,simply lovely, the ponies they are just beautiful, well done to everyone there ,your lovely relatives also..hmmm!very satisfying I love horses and ponies very much,I had a new forest ponie when I was younger, on the hills here exmoor, we have exmoor ponies, they are beautiful too.im so pleased you shared your day with us,thsnkyou,😊take care, 😊
What a talented family you have! Mazel tov! I loved this wonderful film, such a beautiful feeling of community. I'm going to go and get a pint of Guiness and watch it again! Thanks and best wishes.
That's what I liked so much about it John, the community coming together after difficult years. I hope your pint was as good as mine😃🙏 Peace and best wishes to you too xx
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
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💖
Love the slice of rural Irish life Terri! So glad the old traditions are continuing - so important, especially for the young people. Nice to meet your cousin too!
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
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
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!!!
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!!
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
Brightest of Blessings always lovely. Thanks for all of your posts. I've binge watched them all! Thanks for all the knowledge! Also, thank you for all that you do from loving the Earth herself and all critters and plants herbs etc. I look up to you so much! May you and your family continue to be blessed, always! ⛤️🖤🍃🤍🌿
Beautiful day indeed, so many sights and sounds and foot tapping music too. A community of enthusiasts coming together enjoying their cultural heritage long may it continue. Thank you both for taking us along, after a weekend of rain here on the Wirral it was a treat to see . Hugs and Blessings.💚🌹
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 👍.
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!
@@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
Dear Terri and Lol... Thank you so much for taking us along. That was not only interesting to hear about all the tradition and history, but just beautiful to watch as well. There is beauty in everything you share 💙..Green blessings and love.
Thank you Terri for sharing this lovely day. It warms my heart to hear Thomas talking proudly about his great grandfather and his enthusiasm for the future of these majestic creatures. Truly delightful. 😊❤️
That looks like such a wonderful day! Also so good to see a younger generation taking part in this tradition. Thank you so much for taking us along in this, Terri!
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. 🐴❤️
Since I was a child here in Australia I’ve always dreamed of being able to own a Connemara pony they are so sweet 🥹 . I’ve been riding since I was put on a horse at the age of 2 yrs in 1963 old . Right up to 2018 when I sustained an injury due to work place bullying in Dementia care as a nurse . And had my Shoulder permanently damaged & emotionally traumatised also there was three yrs that it hurt emotionally to even look at horses as I knew my shoulder was no longer fit to be able to safely control a horse let alone support me mounting & dismounting a horse again 😣😢🥺 but now I can at least enjoy finally being able to watch someone else ride their horses even though I still get emotional if I allow my memories of myself enjoying a good ride then oh god here goes the tears are yet again flowing again 😢
This was a beautiful video. Thank you Terri and Lol. It was very nice to meet your cousin. I ache to reconnect with my Irish heritage. Beautiful horses and a proud way of life. 💚☘ Blessings from Canada.
Hello there Terri, I'm having another watch of your film. Oh its so fresh and beautiful, you are looking lovely and the lovely ponies on the more and those alpacas, I hope that those shows go on for always.,there is something so special about them,,I'm sure you must have loved the music too.oh yes the 🐑 🐏 🐑 🐏 beautiful, isn't it so comforting to be around animals and out in the fresh air, blue skies.really hope you a nd loll had wonderful day 😊
Hello Terri and Lol and Thomas: Beautiful ponies, sturdy and full of life. WOW, I love it!!! What a gift!!!! I am so grateful for the show!!! Thank you so very much!!! Happy Guinness!!!!
Thank you Terri yet again for a virtual adventure in Connemara. So powerfully evocative; reminding me of the A & P shows we went to as kids, all the animals, competitions, events - 70 years ago in Otago, southern New Zealand. Lovely to see these traditions thriving on the other side of the world. I can smell the horses, the grass and the candy floss.
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 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
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 Denise xo
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! 💚🐎🍺🍀
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.
Well trail riding with Willie Leahy on coast trail by the coastline.( He died 2021) And now finding out my Irish lines!! Daly and Dundas I have to go back. And Yes horses and herbs and Irish music are my passions. If It go this early fall I will be staying not so far from Ballyconneely and I would love to have a chat with you in person. All the best from Maria a herbal therapist in Sweden who wants to go HOME☘️☘️
Hiya Terri Thankyou oh I truly enjoyed. Had a wee lump in my throat when you had a chat with your wee bairn cousin handsome fella brought up well. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Beautiful ponies. And congratulations to your cousin! Lovely show and I think people will start returning. We had our mid-Devon show on Saturday (still no poultry) but the animals were lovely. It was a wash out but it was amazing how many people turned out regardless, so there is hope yet.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I think we've had so much rain that it is a case of get out and make the most of it. They had drenched children racing Shetland ponies, relay races with their ponies, beautiful horse display team, the heavy horses in their finery - and all the farm animals - all sorts. But I did love the Valaise sheep and the long wool sheep. I have a soft spot for Kerry Hills too! LOL! Anyway thank you for showing your event - I do enjoy these shows. xx
That was last week Robert. We had rain most of the week - especially yesterday but today has turned out nice again. The weather is all over the place xx
This was lovely. My grandmother was from Ballinasloe and i would love to go one fall to their horse show. I have always had a love of horses and grew up riding. There is something so peaceful and calming being around them. Thanks for sharing this.
As a pony owner, this film was such a treat. My first pony was a beautiful grey and looked a bit like a Connemara although I think she was more of a Welsh pony, there were no papers with her so I was never sure. How wonderful that young people are still interested in ponies and country life. Thanks for taking us along to the show x
Interesting video, thanks for sharing the Connemara ponies. They are so beautiful! Sweet, surefooted sweethearts❤
They are definitely sweethearts. xx
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
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
Thank you for the visit to see the Connemara ponies. I can easily see why the winner was chosen. Beautiful ponies indeed. 🤍
Glad you enjoyed your visit. The main show is in Clifden in August, if you are interested. 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!

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

Hiya Terri Thankyou oh I truly enjoyed. Had a wee lump in my throat when you had a chat with your wee bairn cousin handsome fella brought up well. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
It does the heart good to hear young people who are conscious of their history and culture xx
i used to have a grey connemara pony 30 years ago when a late teenager. one of the best i had.
Beautiful ponies. And congratulations to your cousin! Lovely show and I think people will start returning. We had our mid-Devon show on Saturday (still no poultry) but the animals were lovely. It was a wash out but it was amazing how many people turned out regardless, so there is hope yet.
Thanks so much for letting me know that there are shows over there too. The rain never stops the people who love pony shows and agricultural events xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I think we've had so much rain that it is a case of get out and make the most of it. They had drenched children racing Shetland ponies, relay races with their ponies, beautiful horse display team, the heavy horses in their finery - and all the farm animals - all sorts. But I did love the Valaise sheep and the long wool sheep. I have a soft spot for Kerry Hills too! LOL! Anyway thank you for showing your event - I do enjoy these shows. xx
😊SO LOVELY!!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it xx
Lovely day.. lovely horses and the pint looked lovely too 💕🤠
All were lovely😂 xx
G'da beautiful soul xox
And to you Mariel. how are you xx
In Galway we still don't have sun. I am so jealous.
That was last week Robert. We had rain most of the week - especially yesterday but today has turned out nice again. The weather is all over the place xx
Fantastic video! There something special about vibrant and lively festivals, they feel very intimate. Thank you for the wonderful video 💛
You are right Mark - these shows are exciting, intimate and feel-good. Glad you liked it xx
This was lovely. My grandmother was from Ballinasloe and i would love to go one fall to their horse show. I have always had a love of horses and grew up riding. There is something so peaceful and calming being around them. Thanks for sharing this.
As a pony owner, this film was such a treat. My first pony was a beautiful grey and looked a bit like a Connemara although I think she was more of a Welsh pony, there were no papers with her so I was never sure. How wonderful that young people are still interested in ponies and country life. Thanks for taking us along to the show x
