Age: 3 years old

Colour: Appaloosa

Breed: Sports Pony

Gender: Mare

Type: Pony

Discipline: Youngstock , Pony Club and Showing

Description: Rising 3-year-old spotted dun SPSS-graded Sports Pony mare. Home-bred as a higher-level PC/RC all-rounder prospect for a competitive amateur rider or experienced teenager, but would also suit endurance, western disciplines, mounted games or showing (e.g. spotted, part-bred Foreign Breeds, Sports Pony, part-bred native, 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 August 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 Studbook Society) main mare studbook at the same time with a superb 18/20 temperament mark, adding to her previous Premium award at SPSS Youngstock Evaluation as a yearling in 2024. ◆ Registered and passported as a part-bred Highland ◆ Eligible for over-stamping by the UK ApHC as a part-bred ◆ Expected final height 14.2hh (currently stands 14.1hh) ◆ Vaccinations, worming, and teeth all up to date ◆ 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 has just come home after spending the winter living out in a mixed-age herd of horses, one cow and two pigs (!) and is now available to view. Price is sensibly negotiable to the perfect home whilst she remains un-started and in her winter woollies, but will firm up once we commence starting her under saddle, and rise as her training progresses. Please note - this 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! Email/Text/WhatsApp messages preferred for initial enquiries as I can't usually answer my phone during office hours. Futurity photos - Tanja Davis Photography
