Name Origin:
The Connemara pony 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 recognized 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.

About the Flaren Creature

The Flaren is a magnificent cross between ancient unicorns and foxes. Flaren's hunting capabilities are legendary; they have smart senses and can detect their prey from miles away based upon scent and even emotions of fear. Whilst they are very clever hunters and busy themselves with hunting, they are very friendly toward humans and make great pets.
