Inside the 2025 Connemara Pony Market: Insights with Padraic Heanue & Emma Bevan

What does the future hold for the Connemara pony market in 2025? In this episode, we sit down with two very respected voices in the industry: Padraic Heanue, renowned breeder, judge, and lifelong advocate of the Connemara pony, and Emma Bevan, equestrian professional with extensive experience in pony sales and sport.

Together, they discuss the evolving landscape of Connemara pony breeding, buying, and selling — from rising international demand and shifting buyer expectations to the challenges facing small breeders and the impact of sport performance trends.

Whether you’re a breeder, buyer, seller, or simply a Connemara enthusiast, this conversation offers real-world insights and opportunities you won’t want to miss.
