The verdict
According to the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine openFDA adverse-event extract, Connemara Pony ranks #421 of 510 by total reports (12). Death-coded-share rank requires at least 50 reports. National dual: Retriever - Labrador is #1 of 510 by total adverse-event reports (93,675) at death-coded-share rank 195 of 275 breeds with at least 50 reports (3.7%); separately, Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is #1 highest death-coded share at 99.0% (report rank #233).
Report volume reflects how common a breed or drug is and how often owners and vets file — not actual risk. Death-coded share ranks are limited to entries with enough reports to be meaningful. The two maps do not agree at #1.

What to do with this horse
A report does not prove a drug caused the reaction, and popular breeds simply generate more reports.
