Polly is an allrounder super cob, with so much potential and character. Polly is a calm ride, she has never tanked with me or been out of control, but she does get very excited going into fences. She is currently on loan to an equestrian college where she is doing all types of lessons with students. Polly is good to lunge in long reins and be long reined. Polly would be eligible for CHAPS and in the right hands would make a great horse in the show ring. She has been with her current owner for 5 years, in which time she also birthed a foal in 2023. 

Polly is able to be isolated, but prefers to be able to see other horses in the field and yard. Out hacking she is better with other horses, but she is very happy to be taken away from others to be exercised and be schooled alone. She copes well with changes of environment and has been out to several competition venues on her own for unaffiliated dressage and pole work clinics. I’ve never hunted her or gone cross country as I prefer dressage, but she loves jumping and with the right training could do more.

Polly is very well behaved for a farrier, vet, dentist and physio. Her feet are bare and she’s always been sound footed. She loves being groomed and tolerates clippers. Polly travels well, but is not the perfect loader up a steep ramp - no matter what, she always goes in. Once in, she travels quietly and is happy being travelled alone or in company. The days where I was travelling her consistently, she was so much better at loading. I was told she was travelled in a trailer before I purchased her, and a previous owner who contacted me said she never had issues travelling her, so I have always put it down to our particular steep ramp.

Polly is very smart and a consistent routine pays off extremely well. She is happy to be caught when she knows the routine (e.g. in winter when she knows she’s being brought in for the nighttime), otherwise she can be a little mareish and decide she’s not in the mood. During the summer when she’s not coming in to the yard consistently every day, we keep a head collar on or pop one on when she’s having her morning feed to catch her later in the day. Food and treats are always the best bribe!

If you’re looking for a cob with huge ridden capabilities, the ability to jump and do dressage - Polly’s has this in heaps. She would also suit a family where there was more hacking available than I’ve ever had, as she would suit the happy hacker life. Polly is very much the sort of horse that loves familiarity, routines and established relationships. She has so much to give someone who has the time to build a relationship with her.

I’m only selling her due to the fact that I’m pregnant with my second child and I have kept her offspring to be my next horse, so I cannot give Polly the full attention she deserves. A good home is essential for this lovely horse.

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.

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.
