Connemara
Farfrae Pandemonium by Proxy
Cob Gelding
Connemara Mold
Panda was purchased for me by Stacey as my proxy buyer at Julip Live 2016.
I gave her a short list of preferences and her choices were kept secret until the box arrived.
His name is a reference to the energy of a Spares grab and the method by which he was acquired.
I added the mohair feathers; this was my first foray into feathering.
Farfrae Maharib Alfayruz
Highland Pony Stallion
Connemara Mold
Fayruz was an eBay win. The pictures were taken at odd angles, so I originally thought he was an Arab Stallion and had decided on an Arabic name for him.
When he arrived I realized he was a very nice example of an early Connemara from 1983, but the name, which means "Turquoise Warrior", stuck.
Pucklechurch Bayard Enchanté
Highland x Welsh C Gelding
Connemara Mold
I purchased Bayard from a Spares Night just before I ordered my Black Beauty set.
He was exactly what I had planned for my Captain portrait from the set - a Connemara in pure white with black flea-bites and a snip.
In the book, Captain's name was Bayard during his early life as a cavalry horse.
Southern Gothic Bourré
Fjord Stallion
Connemara Mold
Bourré was a special order Fjord for the Fjord Horde.
He is a gorgeous dapple black which I can never seem to photograph properly. He was made in 2018.
Southern Gothic Étouffée
Fjord Stallion
Connemara Mold
Toof was a special order buckskin dun Fjord for the Fjord Horde. He was made in 2018.
Farfrae Namimakura
Yonaguni x Hunter-type Stallion
Connemara Mold
Nami is from around 2010 and I bought him second-hand as a match for Shio & Nori.
His name is Japanese and means "falling asleep to the sound of the ocean"
Farfrae Sentimental Silver
Pony of the Americas Stallion
Connemara Mold
