Linda Dykes in Leominster

Height: 14.2hh

Age: 3 years old

Colour: Appaloosa

Breed: Sports Pony

Gender: Mare

Type: Pony

Discipline: Youngstock , Endurance and All-Rounder

Description: Rising 3-year-old spotted dun Sports Pony mare, custom-bred to make a higher-level PC/RC all-rounder prospect for the competitive amateur rider, but would also suit endurance, western disciplines, or showing (e.g. spotted, part-bred Foreign Breeds, Sports Pony, part-bred native classes, or WHP). Widgeon Hill Ceilidh is by Highland pony Balmoral Sport and out of the ApHC-registered and SPSS-graded mare Chamfron Chipita, who brings in versatile American Appaloosa and Quarter Horse performance bloodlines (including a dose of TB). Ceilidh’s super conformation, movement, soundness and temperament earned her a Gold award at the 2025 British Breeding Futurity where she was the top-scoring two-year-old at the Bromyard event. She also comfortably graded into the SPSS (Sports Pony) main mare studbook. ◆ Registered and passported as a part-bred Highland ◆ Eligible for over-stamping by the UK ApHC as a part-bred ◆ Expected to finish a full up 14.2hh ◆ Fully vaccinated ◆ Good to catch, trim feet, groom, bath, lead, tie, travel etc ◆ Been to several large county shows - behaved beautifully ◆ Well handled with a solid groundwork foundation (leading, back-up, yielding shoulders and hind-quarters) ◆ Used to dogs, cats, pigs and poultry underfoot ◆ Lives out naked 24/7, but stables happily too ◆ Confident by herself in stables or field - doesn't mind her friends being taken away ◆ Open to vet ◆ Ceilidh has one blue eye and one brown eye, so if you can't stand horses with blue eyes, swipe left! Ceilidh will be available to view from early/mid April: she will be coming home at the end of the month after spending the winter living out in a mixed-age herd of horses, one cow and two pigs! Price is sensibly negotiable to the right home whilst she remains unstarted and in her winter woollies, but will firm up once she is backed. ◆ NB - advert originally stated she was to make 15/15.1. This was an error: embarrassingly, I discovered my measuring stick was not locked out to full length. However, more recently I have rechecked Ceilidh's height and as she hasn't grown in a number of months, I think she is approaching her full height now and a finished height of 14.2hh is a reasonable estimate. Email/Text/WhatsApp messages preferred for initial enquiries - I can't usually answer my phone during office hours. Futurity photos - Tanja Davis Photography
