Ellister Islay Highland Ponies - Sales List at January 2012

Ellister Islay Harvester, foaled 2010, out of Ballinton Lady by Whitefield King Duncan, is a

cream dun gelding with black points, to make 14 hands. He is a friendly, quiet pony who

loads and leads easily, is unflappable and is suitable for showing. He has an acceptable

white star and hind sole (by HPS show standards) and has very nice, straight paces.

Harvey would suit any home and would also be ideal for an estate wanting a deer pony as

he has very good bone and is very easy going without any bad manners. His dam is the

easiest possible, traditional type of pony and his sire passes on his excellent paces and kind

temperament. Harvey has been running with colts and gelding in rough grazing; he will be

moved to even larger grazing with some fillies at the end of the month.

Harvester is a full brother to Ellister Islay Solo Dance and Ellister Islay Sea Lord.

Price: £900. Can be delivered to Lanark Mart or Central Scotland free of charge.

Ellister Islay Sea Lord, foaled 2007, out of Ballinton Lady by Whitefield King Duncan, is a

very dark steel grey gelding who is greying out and already has a much lighter mane and tail.

He is around 14 hands and although has been headcollared and led, is still quite wary in the

field - although will go anywhere following a bucket ! He always comes for a carrot too and

is the first to come when called.

There is not one hair of badness or naughtiness in Lordy but he still needs a lot of work in

the stable, where he is usually easy to headcollar and to groom all over, even without one.

Noise and unusual sights don't bother him at all - he'd make an ideal project for someone

and could have a great future in any sphere - especially dressage. He'd need to go to a

home in Scotland, so that he could be delivered by us, and would also need to be seen to

appreciate his qualities and his degree of wariness.

Lordy has excellent conformation and super, long-striding straight paces; he has just started

leading. He has superb hard feet and his legs can be touched all over without any

suggestion of kicking. He has an amazing length of mane.

Price: £750. Can be delivered to Central Scotland or Lanark Mart free

of charge. Price reflects the distance involved in seeing him and the fact that he still needs

considerable work to overcome his wariness.

Tiegandene, foaled 1997 by Highfield Glen Albyn out of Dark Lady of Kildavie is a grey mare of nearly 14.2hh who leaves superb foals.

She bred a stallion and two fillies for Scott McGregor (he took the two fillies to Australia with him) and has bred me four foals here on Islay since being bought in foal to Fyfedene in 2005/6 at the Ballinton dispersal sale. Although fourteen years old - rising 15 in 2012 - she has had her foals interspersed by years off, so should be capable of breeding at least three more foals, possibly many more.

Tiegan is easy to do, except with her hind feet (one of them especially), for which we have to use a sedative. They are however good hard feet and she only needs them done two or three times a year. I feel that with more regular handling than we give, she would soon come to accept having her hind feet lifted happily.

She is easy to catch and loads first time; she has always held to her first season when running with the stallion and is very kind with him. She has always foaled easily and cleansed by herself, doing her foals extremely well. She has left me Forester, Summer Thyme (Boots), Smoke and Angus Mor - all of which are of top show quality.

Tiegan is not in foal for 2012 (we usually only cover mares every second year), and her colt foal, Angus Mor, will be weaned early in 2012. She is the mother of my current stallion and I therefore cannot have her covered in 2012. However if a suitable home is not found, she will have another year off and then hopefully go to our young colt Mariner, if he passed his licensing.

Tiegan with her 2009 foal, Summer Thyme (aka Boots).

£1100 ono. Can be delivered to Central Scotland area or Lanark, free of charge.

Price reflects the difficulty with trimming her hind feet.

Ellister Islay Smoke foaled in 2009 and is by Whitefield King Duncan out of Tiegandene.

She is still black, although showed some signs of starting to grey out last summer. Her mane

and tail are already light grey, making her a very attractive pony; she has an extremely

pretty head.

Smoke has the superb paces of her sire and should excel at dressage, although would be

suitable for any field, having quality flat bone.

She has been head-collared and is starting to lead; she has also been seen by the farrier.

She is a friendly filly with a sweet nature,

although likes attention.

Smoke as a foal

Smoke starting to grey out - although much

blacker in the winter; the hairs down the

face are just greying, not white marking.

Rising three in 2012, and ready for a little

groundwork, I'm looking for £1600 for this

very elegant filly - although I'd rather keep

her until the end of the summer 2012.

Can be delivered free of charge to Central

Scotland or to Lanark Mart.

Ellister Islay Juniper was foaled in 2010 and is by Glenbanchor MacGillie Dubh (by

Moss-side Iain Mor) out of Tamaradene. She is a big mouse dun filly with good bone

and should make 14.2.

She's a friendly filly and has been head-collared; she has an easy going temperament

and would make an ideal brood mare with excellent breeding or would be suitable for

someone wanting a family pony. It is not known yet whether she has potential for the

show ring, but she's looking very promising.

Only rising two, she'd probably be better waiting until next year, but could be delivered

to Lanark Mart or Central Scotland; Price £1100.

Juniper needs more handling, but is now available to a knowledgeable home who wants

to start the handling themselves.

Ellister Islay Merry Dance was foaled in 2008 and is by Whitefield King Duncan out of

Kayleighdene (ex Kimdene). She would make a fantastic performance pony, having

really super, free-moving paces which are both straight and have lovely cadence. She

has good bone with plenty of feather and correct conformation all round. She is greying

out now, having been dark brown since a foal; she has a small star which has now

greyed out.

Merry likes to know her handler and can be a little shy with strangers; she is very easy

to catch, headcollar and lead - and with farrier - once she knows you. I would imagine

she could be a little feisty getting started in a ridden career but would make a fabulous

pony with a bit of time spent on her. She is not the nervy type of pony - just has a little

more attitude than some ! She loads into the trailer willingly and is very good with the

farrier. Estimated to be just under 14 hands.

I plan to put Merry to Forester in the Spring of 2012 as she also carries some Rhum

blood and I would like to see what she leaves. However I would consider selling her - I

do need to cut down my numbers now, as I'm finding it very difficult to organize field

room for them all.

Rising four now, I would be willing to sell her for £1650 delivered free of charge to

Central Scotland or Lanark Mart, before she goes to the stallion in May/June.

Similarly, I would sell Ellister Islay Chanter, because I have bought back her full sister

Sea Holly.

Chanter is a very laid back filly rising 4, currently around 14 hands though looks bigger.

She is a dark cream dun by Whitefield King Duncan out of Ceilidh of Glenmarkie. She

too is straight with nice even paces and good conformation, although fractionally longer

in the back than Merry. She is ideal brood mare material later on, after perhaps a career

in the show ring.

Chanter is easy to do in every way; she may not be as forward going as some would like

- but this might well suit someone else.

I would like to breed one foal from Chanter, but would be willing to sell her if someone

feels they would like her before she goes to Forester in May/June.

Chanter leads, loads, is easy to catch and good with farrier.

Price: £1750. Can be delivered to Central Scotland or Lanark Mart for

onward travel.

It’s always worth asking whether we would deliver to other areas; a lot will depend on

how busy we are.

All prices reflect the remoteness of our location, but include transport to

the mainland.
