Quality tests

Here are some results from quality tests over the years. Originally it was arranged by the Swedish Connemara society only, but it later spread to be arranged at several places each year and open for ponies of all breeds. During the last years the most promising ponies have been given awards as either jumping talent or dressage talent. I have tried to make the results as complete as I could, but there are most definitely things missing such as the best jumping or dressage pony during the early years. Photos are in most cases not taken at the three-year-old tests. If you can help me with photos of more ponies I will be forever grateful. Just contact me if you have a suitable photo.

2006 - present, 1996 - 2005, 1978 - 1995, National finals
