What are the differences between the appaloosa connemara welsh and shetland pony?
First off an Appaloosa is a horse that is spotted in any color, it can be Blanket, Leopard, Snowflake, or just plain spotted.
A Connemara is originally a wild breed, in fact, there are still wild Connemaras today. The connemara isn't as elegant or feminine as the Welsh and is hardier then the Welsh as well. It is also from Ireland.
A Welsh pony is an Elegant feminine pony. it was improved mainly by the Arabian horse and so it looks more like a smaller version of the Arabian. There are 4 different sections of the Welsh pony, and each are unique.
A Shetland pony is one of the smaller pony breeds in the world, second to the Fallabella. It is short, stout and, in my opinion, looks almost like a hairy pot bellied pig. Haha. It is mainly used for stall buddies to other horses and, unbelievably, a jumper.
