Description
3 Celtic Irish Horses, digital painting by Michele Avanti
Celtic knotwork has always fascinated me and wonderful way animals are worked into designs, there are so many that have been done over the centuries. So I have taken some of an ancient design and woven it into a new creation, with some of my own knotwork, and redesign of horses and such. I do hope you enjoy it. The colors of green and gold with a bit of Irish overcast sky and ocean blue mixed in, as these are the colors of Ireland, home of some of the athletic ponies in the world.

The Connemara pony (Irish: Capaill'n Chonamara) is a pony breed originating in Ireland. They are known for their athleticism, versatility and good disposition. The breed makes excellent show ponies.
The Connemara region in County Galway in western Ireland, where the breed first became recognised as a distinct type, is a very harsh landscape, thus giving rise to a pony breed of hardy, strong individuals. Some believe that the Connemara developed from Scandinavian ponies that the Vikings first brought to Ireland. Another source was likely the Irish Hobby, a now-extinct breed established prior to the 13th century. Legend, however, says that galleons from the Spanish Armada ran aground in 1588, and the Andalusians on board were set loose. The Spanish horses bred with the native stock, refining the local ponies.
For additional strength and stamina, Arabian blood was added in the 18th century. They were also crossed with Hackneys and Thoroughbreds. Too much crossbreeding began to dilute the pony bloodlines, so the Connemara Pony Breeders' Society, founded in 1923, worked to preserve the breed type. The stud book was established in 1926. Today, Connemaras are bred worldwide in Ireland and Britain, as well as on the European continent, North America, Australasia and South Africa.
