Excellent stamp of a Traditional Gypsy Cob 15.1hh coloured gelding, rising 5yrs ( 5 late July) . Passported TGCA , red stud book .

By San Cler Pearl Ambition out of Acresdale Hairy Mary, who is by the lovely sort after stallion SHAMBO .

Since being with us Rodney has turned heads showing , winning or being placed in every class entered ( inhand and ridden coloureds and cobs) .

We have been told by a professional show breeder and producer to show him County level as he has the potential to qualify HOYS / Royal International etc, but it's not really our thing .

He does a lot of hacking with us, through fords, common land and in traffic. He goes in front or behind and everyone who rides him falls in love. He hasn't done much jumping yet due to his age but has recently been arena XC and jumped absolutely everything asked including water, ditches, steps. I call him Mr "Yes" Man . Still green / wobbly schooling but has three basic paces and ready first someone to put their own stamp on .

Rodney was purchased on a wim last Autumn as current pony was lame but sadly he is going to be too big for the jockey he was meant for so we have come to the sad reality that he needs his forever home. Honest sort that is very hard to find.

Very sweet boy who is going to be someones best friend for life . No vices, up to date worming, teeth, vaccinations etc . A star in the making . Essex.

Oreo, a striking 5-year-old cob gelding standing at 16hh. Oreo is a truly eye-catching horse with beautiful, balanced conformation and an exceptionally pretty presence. His gorgeous white tail gives him a unique look that turns heads everywhere he goes — he’s one of those horses that always gets noticed for his good looks and charm. With his smart markings and lovely build, Oreo is the perfect example of a well-put-together cob, combining strength, balance, and quality in one impressive package.

Oreo has a wonderful temperament and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He is kind, good-natured, and always willing to please, making him an ideal partner for riders of different levels. Here, he is regularly ridden by novice students and takes everything in his stride, showing patience and a sensible outlook that makes him very easy to trust. He works in a snaffle, is light in the hand, and goes sweetly off the leg, giving his rider a comfortable and confidence-building ride every time.

He’s lovely to hack, whether alone or in company, and is excellent in traffic. He’s well used to all kinds of farm machinery and country life, making him a brilliant choice for someone who enjoys relaxed rides through lanes, fields, or open countryside. Oreo is also a lovely, straightforward horse to take hunting — he’s sensible in open spaces, polite in a group, and enjoys getting on with the job.

Oreo has been schooled on the flat, over show jumps, and across cross-country fences. He’s honest and brave to a fence, has a good natural rhythm, and is already confidently jumps up to 90cm here. With his three balanced, comfortable paces and his enthusiastic, can-do attitude, he shows great potential for any all-round job. He’s the type of cob who will happily turn his hoof to a bit of everything — from hacking and hunting to riding club and fun days out.

He is easy to handle in every way — good to shoe, box, catch, ride, and in traffic. Oreo has no stable vices and is open to any vetting. His calm and adaptable temperament means he would suit a wide variety of homes: he would make a fantastic mother–daughter share, a brilliant addition to a riding school, or a trustworthy and fun happy hacker for someone wanting an easy, enjoyable companion.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely happy with him.

  • 2023 (3yo) 15.2hh (measured), expected to mature to approx. 16hh
  • Cob Gelding

Bear is a stunning dun cob with plenty of bone, sure to mature into a smart, weight-carrying type. His education has begun and his price will increase as he continues to progress.

He displays all the right attributes to excel in any sphere. Bear has a kind, level-headed temperament, takes new situations in his stride, and has a naturally inquisitive nature.

He loads perfectly, is easy to catch, and good to bath and groom. He has also started wearing tack and is proving straightforward in his early training.

Bear would make an uncomplicated and rewarding project for someone looking to produce a quality cob.

(Bear is super bum high at the moment and will gain muscle and mass as he matures).

No lumps, bumps, vices, or anything untoward.

Up to date with worming and vaccinations.

Open to any viewing or vetting.

A lovely 6 year old, 15h bay irish gelding with the kindest temperament and a genuine nature. This super cob has plenty of potential and a very exciting future ahead.

He is easy to handle on the ground and enjoys his work, offering a fun and rewarding ride. A brave type, he hacks alone and in company and is continuing to gain confidence with his education.

With his age he’s still young and green, he is not a first pony, and would be best suited to a confident rider who can continue his schooling and bring out the best in him.

Would make a great Pony Club/RC prospect, mother/daughter share, or all rounder. He has all the attributes to go on and do a variety of jobs, with potential to progress further in the right hands.

Good to box, shoe and clip

A kind, genuine pony looking for a knowledgeable home to continue his education.
