From the mythical steeds of legend to the thoroughbreds of today, horses and ponies have been part of the Irish story for thousands of years. In this book, we celebrate the kind-hearted Connemaras, hardy Irish draught horses, bog ponies, cobs and all the other fine fillies and steeds that make our hills, valleys and fields more beautiful. Sell the cow, buy the sheep, but never be without the horse! From the mythical stallions of legend to the thoroughbreds of today, horses and ponies have been part of the Irish story for thousands of years.
