Pedigree

Century Hills Taylor Maide is a 2005 purebred Canadian Connemara Pony bred by Rick and Dale Doner of Century Hill Farm in Ontario. An ACPS Premium mare, she is by Maplehurst Michael Macdaire out of *Eastlands Glendearg by Lockinge Frederick standing 15 hands with 8+ inches of bone. In 2009 as an ACPS Premium Mare Candidate, Century Hills Taylor Maide placed 3rd in Purebred Mares and 1st Place for Broodmares In Foal. Taylor was also presented to the German Oldenburg Verband Weser Ems Pony Division earning the title Special Premium. This special designation is the equivalent to the States Premium or Elite mare title. (Performance Tested 2010). Taylor is also an accomplished performance pony having competed through Training level Eventing with her Jr rider as well as 1st Level Dressage. Often in the ribbons she many times finished on her dressage score even in Open division. Sadly an injury sidelined her eventing career, but we are so excited to add Taylor to our Merry Mare Band!

Taylor has had one foal, a beautiful colt in 2010, Redbud Robin Goodfellow, by Champion stallion Wildwych Eclipse who is currently eventing at Training Level with his owner. Taylor will be bred this year to Redbud’s Blue Moon for a 2022 foal.

R Blue Moon is a 2013, 14.3 H, Black Connemara Stallion. R Blue Moon was shown very lightly in 2014 and 2015 qualifying both as a yearling and two year old for USEA West Coast Future Event Horse Championships. In 2016 R Blue Moon attended the USEA/Priefert Young Event Horse Chute Jumping Clinic where he very gamely Free Jumped with the 3yo (3ft 7in /1.1m, set on a horse stride). His Free Jumping Video which appeared on both the USEA Website and Eventing Nation was a social media smash hit with over 14 thousand views world-wide.

Following this enormously successful outing, Blue again qualified for West Coast Championships, where he finished out his 3yo Season by Placing 3rd in the 3yo Colts Division and 6th Place overall (against horses of all breeds). Both his remarkable scores and comments indicate a bright future both as a top quality eventing prospect as well as a breeding stallion. In his final outing of 2016, R Blue Moon attended the West Coast Regional Breed show where he was named Overall Breed Supreme Champion, Connemara Stallion Champion and Futurity Champion.

R Blue Moons pedigree represents some of the finest performance Connemara Pony genetics available in North America. His sire Wildwych Eclipse was a Star Award Stallion with the ISR/OLD NA Sport Pony Division, esteemed not only for his own competitive achievements but also for his brilliant performing offspring. In 2010, Wildwych Eclipse garnered international acclaim while serving as Breed Ambassador for the Connemara Pony at the World Equestrian Games. Wildwych Eclipse has been named a USEF leading sire in three disciplines: Eventing, Dressage and Show Jumping. Four of Wildwych Eclipses offspring have earned USEF/ACPS Horse of the Year Titles (HOTY).

R Blue Moons dam is the exceptional imported mare *Glenormiston Amelia. Before leaving Australia, Amelia was named high scoring filly at her International Stud Book Inspection. In 2007, Glenormiston Amelia was the first US mare to attain the title Premium Mare with the ACPS. In 2009, Amelia also earned the title Special Premium with German Oldenburg Verband Weser Ems Pony Division, the equivalent to the States Premium or Elite mare title. At her performance test, Amelia was awarded the highest marks achieved by any mare for the entire test. Amelia's offspring include not only Premium daughters but also two registered stallion sons as well as Pony Dressage and International Show Jumping superstars. One of her daughters was exported to France where she competes at the Grand Prix Level. Amelias own sire is the legendary Domo Cavallo Praize, not only a true family pony but also the sire of numerous outstanding high performance offspring including the FEI Four Star Event Horse Feldale Mouse, Pony of the Year Dressage Champion, Capparis High Roller and graded Show Jumper Glenormiston Patrick (4.9ft). Amelia’s 2nd dam sire is Abbeyleix Finbar (3/4 brother to Stallions Coosheen Finn and Leam Bobby Finn). Finbar is well noted for the beauty and quality of his daughters as well as his many successful performance offspring. Finbars progeny include International Eventing , Show Jumping and Dressage Horses and Ponies. Abbeyliex Finbar is also the grand sire of Just Lately who contested World Cup Show Jumping in Australia.

Taylor is heterozygous grey from buckskin, and she also carries chestnut from her sire--so possibilities for color include palomino and buckskin. With Blue she can produce any color.
