• Friesian

• 3 years

• Excellent Ground Training
• Most Adorable Temperament
• Turned 3 in February ‘26

Spartan is an outstanding home bred Friesian Sports Horse colt. He is currently still entire but can be gelded.

His father was a registered 17.2hh baroque Friesian stallion with enormous flamboyant movement, the sweetest and easiest stallion I’ve ever come across. His mother, an ISH and successful former showjumper, was also 17.1hh. Both with the most wonderful temperaments and lots of charisma. This boy got the best from both and is expected to reach 17.1-2hh. He has the Friesian looks and charm, with versatility of an ISH.

He was imprint trained from birth, and handled daily for his first year, before going off to live in a colt herd for the last two years. I have personally put over 100 hours of groundwork training in with him and absolutely nothing phases him. As a yearling I felt safer having my kids around him than a lot of adult horses. He has been around noisy children, dogs, never scared of machinery or tractors in the yard etc.

He has had the best feed, care and socialisation I could possibly give him, given that I bred him to keep for myself. However, we have emigrated to the USA and the import costs are so high that the idea of moving him has become unrealistic.

Spartan will make a terrific young dressage horse or allrounder. He will be a breeze to start under saddle, given the handling he has had and his calm demeanour. I have a lot of videos of him from when he was a year old, and one more recent video too from early 2026. Amongst these I have a video of me sitting on his back while he was laid down in the field. He is truly one in a million and will be an absolute dream horse for someone.

He is based at a stud in Kent. He is 100% open to vetting and has never been lame or sick.

There are lots of video of him and both of his parents, Zeus and Vogue, on my instagram. This has been a very difficult decision, so please only very serious enquiries. I would prefer to arrange a call time via WhatsApp and then to speak on the phone. All of the videos I have are on this advert and on my instagram, which is shared on the ad. I cannot be there to show him but the stud owner and staff are very good and there’s an arena where he can be brought to so that his movement and ground manners can be observed.

I am looking for a 5* home for him, with a very experienced person. Ideally no livery yards unless the care is high end and turnout is unlimited. I’m going to be extremely selective of the home he goes to so please only enquire if you believe you can offer what I’ve described.

• SPSS Graded & British Breeding Futurity Gold award
• Highland x American Appaloosa (ApHC)
• Well handled and ready to start

3-year-old spotted dun SPSS-graded Sports Pony mare expected to finish at 14.2hh.

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, and was award a Gold Premium SPSS Youngstock Evaluation as a 2 year old, building on her Premium award as a yearling.

- Registered and passported as a part-bred Highland
- Eligible for over-stamping by the UK ApHC as a part-bred
- Vaccinations, worm control programme, and teeth all up to date
- Genetic testing: six-panel negative, and temperament gene (DRD4) G/G - "horse may be more curious than vigilant" - which is entirely consistent with Ceilidh's sensible outlook to novel objects and situations!
- 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 recently came 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, but will firm up once we commence starting her under saddle, and rise as her training progresses.

Situated in Herefordshire/Shropshire/Worcs border.

Please note: Ceilidh was originally advertised as to make around 15hh. This was an error: embarrassingly, I discovered my measuring stick was not locked out to full length and was adding 2" to Ceilidh's height.... unfortunately the HorseQuest strapline is still saying 14.3hh which is what I thought she was at that time, rather than 14.1.

Email/Text/WhatsApp messages preferred for initial enquiries as I can't usually answer my phone during office hours.

Extremely smart and interestingly bred.

Out of a Grafenstolz mare that has siblings competing at 2* eventing and 1.40 BS.

By the performance Connemara Josie Jump, giving a mix of top performance, temperament and versatility.

She is beautifully put together and a real look at me type.

I really believe she will excel in any sphere.

Friendly, bold and inquisitive, she is good to catch, trim worm etc.

Her sibling is with olympic event rider and already looking very successful.

Would have loved to keep her but time is so limited with two small children who also want ponies, and farm.

Viewings welcome. Very Good home important.

• Father Timolin Grand Prix Dressage and Intermediate Eventer
• Mother by 4*Event stallion PennineView Silver Concorde
• Mother Uncle Opposition Buzz 5* Eventer

This stunning, athletic mare is kind, loving, and bred to event at the highest level with her elite blood lines and relations! .

By the Catherstons stallion Timolin, an extremely popular sire whose progeny are becoming increasingly prominent. Timolin himself competed effortlessly to Intermediate level and excelled in dressage, competing/working at Grand Prix.

Out of a mare by PenninView Silver Concorde, a consistent 4*star event stallion with a teenage rider, and her mother was the 3* event mare Bees Knees, ridden by Nicola Wilson, who was a half-sister to Opposition Buzz’s five-star gold medal-winning line. The dam was used as a broodmare due to injury after competing for GBR for 2 separate youth riders!

She has been lightly started, and is lunging in tack, and hence is now offered at a very reasonable price for a quick sale due to multiple health issues!

She would suit a professional or a keen amateur junior young rider with high aspirations as a rider. She is loving, calm, easy to manage, and very loving and trusting.

She has an uphill build, with effortless paces and a natural jump. Although not yet loose jumped, she has shown natural ability—jumping out of the field from trot as a yearling, as well as over banks (you can see the video!) She has been lunged over poles and small fences recently, all of which comes very naturally to her with a bold attitude.

Bred at Clarendon, she has lived with her current owners for the past three years in a well-managed environment. She is used to a busy road by her field, has been rugged, stabled etc as needed, and maintained with regular worm counts, flu and tet Dentist and hoof care.

A sad sale, but a truly exceptional event prospect for the future or in any sphere .

Offered for sale only due to genuine family circumstances, making this an exceptional opportunity to secure a horse of real quality.
