Foothills Farms and Piedmont Connemaras

Foothills Farms and Piedmont Connemaras raise Connemara ponies in Athens, TN, in East Tennessee near Chattanooga. They draw on decades of experience with breeding Connemara ponies, adhere to Connemara Pony Breeders Society standards and conduct regular health assessments, including soundness evaluations and vaccinations to support their herd’s well-being.

Vanessa Morgan applies her background in equine care to maintain individualized nutrition and training plans, working closely with each pony’s developing needs and disposition. Their detailed records document lineage, training milestones and health histories, reflecting a commitment to transparency for prospective equestrian partners. They maintain connections with local veterinarians and farriers to ensure prompt care and sound hoof growth throughout each pony’s development.
