Average height:
* Stallions and mares: 12-14.2 hands (48-56 inches)
* Fillies and colts: Can be slightly smaller than the average, but usually around 12 hands (48 inches)
Maximum height:
* While the average Connemara pony is around 13-14 hands, some can reach up to 15 hands (60 inches).
Important Note: There are no official "maximum height" restrictions for Connemara ponies, as long as they fit the breed's general standards. However, exceeding 15 hands is quite rare.
