Synopsis: Born during a storm by the rugged Atlantic coast of County Galway, Lir, a grey Connemara pony, begins his life full of laughter, freedom, and love under the watchful care of his Nana. But everything changes when, at just three years old, Lir is sold by his owner and thrust into a new world. Told through Lir's own eyes, The Galway Connemara follows his incredible journey across Ireland—through showjumping arenas, eventing competitions, dressage training and family homes. Lir experiences both love and hardship, kindness and struggle, always in search of a forever home. This captivating tale offers more than just the story of a pony. It’s a lesson in empathy, horsemanship, kindness, and the importance of treating animals with respect. This novel will touch the hearts of all horse lovers, riders and equestrians.
