Database of ACPS-Registered Connemaras

This database contains Connemaras permanently registered with the American Connemara Pony Society through Stud Book XXIII (registered from 1956-1986). Every entry has been double-checked, and the code was improved in January 2026. We will continue to add stud books as time allows. Searching a name will produce a list of results (if the pony is in the database). Click a name in the list to see the family tree. Offspring and transfers will appear below the family tree. To test the database, enter “Texas” without the quotation marks and then select “Texas Hope” from the list. A separate database of Connemara farm names is here.
