Frequently Asked Questions

What information is available to me on Connemaras Online?

A four generation pedigree and progeny report can be displayed on-screen with a facility to have either report emailed to the user as a PDF document. In cases where horses have competed under Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), Showjumping Ireland (SJI), Eventing Ireland (EI), or Association of Irish Riding Clubs (AIRC) rules, there will be a link directly to that horse’s results in the relevant database.

How can I view the following?

  • Pedigree- Search for a horse, choose the relevant horse and click the Pedigree tab at the top of the screen
  • Progeny- Search for a horse, choose the relevant horse and click the Progeny tab at the top of the screen
  • Performance – Where performance is available for an animal one or more of the following logos will be visible; FEI, BE, SJI, EI or AIRC. Click the logo of the performance you wish to view. This will direct you to the performance results page for that horse with the specific sporting organisation.

Note: Some horses may be registered with more than one Equestrian sporting organisation.

Why can’t I find my horse on Connemaras Online?

Your horse may not be able for find the horse that you are looking for due to one of the following reasons:

  • The Connemara Pony Breeders Society Studbook only contains horses registered with them
  • The animal may have been born into a studbook other than the Irish studbook and has not yet been endorsed.
  • Alternatively, your animal may not be registered with a passport issuing body. In this case, you may be breaking the law. Note: It is now the law that every foal must be registered within six months of the date of birth.
