We are deeply saddened to share the news that Willie Simpson of Chapelhill Highland Ponies passed away suddenly but peacefully on Saturday 11th January. Willie was a long standing member of the Society and established the Chapelhill Stud back in the 1970's. Willie who was also a very talented musician was a highly respected and popular breeder who will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Willie's wife Jean, his girls Jill, Jennifer and Alison and all of his family and friends.
