When I listed to your clip, I was racking my brain because it sounded so familiar. Just remembered where I heard it from: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=50618

I just listened to the youtube clip and I went to jc's tunefinder and downloaded Saddle the Pony. I just couldn't rectify my tune with either of those. ??

I just had a listen. I can hear phrases that appear in both, but I still can't make them the same tune.

Yikes ... It's definitely not Saddle the Pony, no resemblance whatsoever.
Tony, your mystery jig is "The Return Home", a modern tune written by flute player Skip Healy. It's actually listed as such on the Gaelic Roots CD, and has also been recorded by Solas and several others:

Thanks a million, MT. (I still have to go listen for myself as soon as I get home from work.) And I have Nugent's Two for Two. And I'll try the abc's on session.org. The more variations, the better.

I think most people would refer to that tune by that name although I think it's down as The Priest's Leap/The Red Stockings in O'Neill's

I'm not sure what you guys are hearing. I'm well familiar with the other ponies. This tune ain't no diminutive equine.
Tony, care to chime in?

No problem, mate. I figured there was a mismatch of tunes involved here.
