  • Show cob
  • County level
  • Veteran

A rare opportunity to purchase a genuine top-class show cob with an exceptional record. Having won at both HOYS and the Royal International, he has competed and succeeded at the very highest level and still has plenty to offer his next owner.

He is a true gentleman with the most wonderful temperament. Kind, genuine, and easy to do in every way, he is regularly ridden by my 10-year-old niece and is a pleasure both on the ground and under saddle.

He loves his work, enjoys jumping, and has successfully competed in Working Show Horse classes alongside his impressive showing career. With his quality, presence, and proven track record, he would easily be competitive in Veteran classes and could continue to enjoy a successful career in the show ring.

He hacks happily in company but can be nervous when ridden out alone, so we are looking for a home that will suit his needs and allow him to thrive.

Good to clip, load, travel, and for the farrier. A straightforward horse to own and a much-loved member of the family.

This is a genuinely heartbreaking sale due to a change in career meaning he is no longer getting the time and attention he deserves. He is far too talented and special to be wasted in a field and deserves a home where he can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Based in North Lincolnshire

Outstanding 4yo ID x Cob Gelding – 13 BD Points, Absolute Gentleman!
• Breed: Irish Draught x Gypsy Cob
• Height: 15.2hh
• Age: 4 years
• Colour: Black
• Sex: Gelding

Description:
Teddy (Registered BD name: Bolt III) is a truly exceptional, loving, and genuine young horse with a mature attitude far beyond his years. Purchased directly from his breeder in Ireland as a 2-year-old, he was professionally backed in December last year and has been produced with love and longevity in mind.

Despite his young age, Teddy is already proving to be a fantastic all-rounder:
• Dressage: Currently competing at BD Prelim with scores of 67–69%, already accumulating 13 BD points. He has done 3 BD tests to date.
• Jumping: Taking everything in his stride! He has been lightly introduced to jumps up to 60cm (kept low due to rider preference), showing a brave, honest attitude with zero stop or run-out.
• XC / Farm Rides: A total superstar on farm rides and in the forest. He pops over logs and fallen trees with ease, remaining calm, manners-bound, and completely manners-focused—often behaving better than his older companions!
• Gallops: Teddy after being under saddle for only 5 wks was taken on his own in the trailer to the gallops where he was impeccably behaved!

An Absolute Pleasure to Do For:
Teddy is an absolute gentleman to handle. He loads easily, travels perfectly alone, and stands like a rock to be mounted at strange venues. During a 6-week rider recovery from surgery this year, Teddy was ridden by a 14-year-old girl who took him hacking, on fun rides, and out in her horsebox—he was impeccable with a younger rider.
He is good with tractors/machinery around the yard. Due to 60mph traffic at home, his road hacking has been kept to quieter lanes away from the yard, where he is very good.

Health & Manners:
• No vices, clean legs, good feet, no blemishes or scars.
• Never bucks, naps, rears, or gets strong.

Teddy has a heart of gold, his ears are always forward, and he is always happy to see you. He was purchased alongside his full sister with the intention to sell, and he is now ready to find a 5* home. Ideally looking for a rider who wants to continue his education and journey

Luna

16hh, 4 year old Suffolk Punch x Warmblood
This mare is oozing with potential, she has a genuine temperament and a bright future ahead of her.

Luna is eye-catching mare with plenty of presence and is a real foot-in-each-corner type, she has been in the same home all her life and has been given the time to mature correctly. Recently backed and started her education, she is proving willing, trainable and eager to learn.

She is riding away nicely and, whilst still green, has a sensible attitude towards her work. She boasts three correct, uphill paces and is ready for someone to continue her education and put their own stamp on her.

She would suit a knowledgeable home looking for a quality young horse to produce further. She has all the attributes to make a lovely all-rounder and is ready for her next chapter.

Her breeding speaks for itself, with her brother having competed successfully at both HOYS and the Royal International and having qualified again this year.

Good to load and travel
Good to handle on the ground
Sweet, affectionate nature
Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and physio
Same home since birth

A genuine, unspoilt young mare with a bright future ahead of her. A very sad sale, and she will only be available to the very best of homes where her education can continue.

Top class Blagdon traditional cob

  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 5 years

  • Fabulous mover and good length of rein
  • Great presence with 'look at me' quality
  • He would suit a competent home producer or professional

Colin is a 15hh (153cm ) 5 yr old traditional Blagdon cob gelding .

I bought him as a just backed 3 yr old for my daughter to show , she then decided to go traveling ! I kept him as he needed time to mature and is is such a super type and easy to have around. Fast forward and I started him again putting in lots of ground work , he was so easy , riding nicely, has never bucked , reared or napped but is very green .

His progress has been cut short due to illness in the family and my daughter Is unable to ride .

Colin has the best feather I’ve seen on a cob , from the back of his knee , straight and silky and loads of it , he’s got plenty of bone , clean through his hocks and no lumps , bumps or extras . He would potentially strip out but I’ll leave that to his new owner to make that decision.

Colin sits up and looks through the bridle , fabulous mover and good length of rein . Great presence with ‘look at me ‘ quality .

He’s content being in or out without company and equally happy out with mares ( I don’t have any other geldings .

He is vice free , teeth, vaccines , feet ( bare foot ) all up to date . He is currently not in work and this is reflected in his price . He is far from being established but I truly believe that a few weeks back into a routine of work he would be flying ( not literally)

He would suit a competent home producer or professional. No novices or nervous Nellie’s , hes young and a novice , id hate to see him ruined by inexperienced hands as he’s got so much potential. Hes a sweet boy , lovely kind temperament a if he was a year younger id keep him but he needs a job . Happy to answer any questions but i wont reply to texts.

Aries has over 10 inch of clean flat limb he’s a straight very good mover, 4 even white legs with no health issues.

He has no vices as been in the same home since going over to Ireland to pick him as a 3 year old. He has excellent manners.

He was a piece of cake to back and has always been an absolute pleasure to do, he is by far my favourite cob to ride.

I have let him have time to mature and he’s had a really good education start to life.

He is very light in the mouth and never gets strong. He’s not lazy or too forward doesn’t get hot or silly ever.

He is completely unshown but has done plenty of the fun stuff, hunt rides, Somerford cross country schooling, the beach, hacking, showing clinics.

Only for sale due to my own injury backing youngsters forced to sell the one that is ready !

10 star home for much loved super super Cob.
