Cobs and Heavy Horses: Allrounder

Merrijohn Boris - Exceptionally kind Suffolk Punch gelding


Ref #: 402458
  • Professionally broken for riding and to harness
  • Steady and sensible temperament
  • Correct, compact Suffolk type suitable for showing or agricultural turnout
£4,000
  • Suffolk Punch
  • Chestnut
  • Gelding
  • 11 years
  • 16.2 hands
  • Professionally broken for riding and to harness
  • Steady and sensible temperament
  • Correct, compact Suffolk type suitable for showing or agricultural turnout

Boris is an exceptionally kind, steady and gentle gelding with a genuine, calm temperament. He has been professionally broken to both ride and drive and is a straightforward, mannerly horse to handle and be around. He has not been in regular work recently due to lack of time and would benefit from a gradual return to work.

He lives on a working farm and is accustomed to heavy machinery, daily activity and turnout alongside a busy road. Boris has excellent manners on the ground, is easy to catch and handle, and is calm and cooperative for the vet and farrier (currently barefoot).

He has clean limbs, correct conformation and is true to Suffolk Punch type. Boris would suit a variety of roles including ridden work, harness work or a knowledgeable home looking for a dependable heavy horse partner.

Up to date with worming, vaccinations and teeth. Happy living out or stabled and mixes well with other horses.

Boris is closely bonded with Bunny (also advertised). Ideally we would like them to remain together as they are well matched in temperament and companionship. A combined price of £11,000 would be considered for the pair.

This decision has been made with careful consideration - Boris has been in the same home since being a foal and is a much-valued member of the farm.

Best suited to an experienced home familiar with heavy horses and with appropriate facilities and grazing. Homes will be carefully considered.

Currently living out 24/7 un-rugged in winter condition.

Saddle, bridle, harness, plough gear and horse plough available by separate negotiation.

Cornwall, South West.

Bunny is a very kind, steady and intelligent mare with a genuine, sensible temperament. She has been professionally broken to both ride and drive and is a pleasure to handle in all respects. She has not been in regular work recently due to lack of time and would benefit from a gradual return to work.

She lives on a working farm and is accustomed to heavy machinery, farm activity and being turned out alongside a busy road. She has excellent manners on the ground, is easy to catch, handle and groom, and is perfect for the vet and farrier (currently barefoot).

Bunny has clean limbs, correct conformation and lovely paces. She would suit a variety of roles including ridden work, harness work or as a quality broodmare.

Up to date with worming, vaccinations and teeth. Happy to live out or stable and mixes well with other horses.

Bunny is bonded with Boris (also advertised) and ideally we would like them to remain together, as they are very well matched in temperament and companionship. A combined price of £11,000 would be considered for the pair.

This decision has not been taken lightly - Bunny has been in the same home for over eight years and is a much-valued member of the farm.

Best suited to an experienced home familiar with heavy horses and with appropriate facilities and grazing. Homes will be carefully considered.

Valerio - 14.3 Welsh d who has the heart of gold, I got him last year in not so good shape but has come on leaps and bounds and has plenty to offer.

I’ve hacked, schooled him but he needs more work hence project title He’ll be a cracking hunter type but just needs a confident rider who will push him to the max. He can through the odd excited buck when excited and has the classic cheeky Welsh personality.

I would love to keep in touch as this is a very sad sale unfortunately I just don’t have the time to show him the world and hasn’t been touched in a bout a month so selling from feild ideally He does take an extra bit of time to trust people but once he does your winning

Passported and is up to date with dentist, saddler and physio

He’s just had a new saddle fitted so he can come with tack but at an extra cost

  • Is hacked/cantered/schooled by his 70 year old owner in a snaffle
For sale on behalf of his owner. 15.1 hands L/W black Irish cob with four white socks and face.

8 years old, owned since 4 year old. Lovely laid back temperament but forward-going so not a novice/first horse. Very well schooled, has 37 BD points, easily working at Elementary with scope to go further. Collects, extends and lateral work established. Won nearly every dressage test he has contested. Highest score 72%. Ready to compete. Lovely paces and really moves from his shoulder.

Is hacked/cantered/schooled by his 70 year old owner in a snaffle, on his own or in company, in big open spaces. Good to shoe, catch, travel, clip and used to big farm machinery. Up-to-date with teeth and vacs. Easy to handle. Passed a 5 stage vetting when I bought him.

Has not shown but would do so easily as impeccably behaved in the warm up at busy shows. He enjoys polework but hasn’t jumped as I don’t. Needs a varied life not just arena work. A real character who does not buck, rear, whip round etc. May occasionally spook if genuinely scared.

Very sad sale due to mature lady owner’s spinal surgery and the long recuperation required.

A knowledgeable, permanent 10* home required as whoever buys him will be very happy indeed! Price includes his dressage saddle, bridle and his rugs as owner giving up. Vets and accredited trainers welcome.

  • Irish

  • Super Nature and attitude
  • Loveable, safe and quiet
  • Needs to find his forever home
Rocky is a 16-year-old black Irish Cob with a kind, gentle nature. Before his ridden career he was driven, which has helped shape him into a very sensible and reliable horse.

He would be ideal for a family home looking for a safe, easy horse to enjoy hacking in the countryside, beach rides, and relaxed days out. Rocky is calm, affectionate, and a pleasure to handle.

While he will work in the school, it is not his favourite environment. However, with consistent work and patience, he is likely to become more comfortable there over time.

Rocky has no known vices, no health issues, and is sound with clean limbs. He is easy to manage in all ways – good to load and travel, good with the farrier, clipping, and the dentist.

He is being sold on behalf of a client due to a change in personal circumstances, and this is a genuine and sad sale as Rocky is a much-loved horse.

Rocky is a true gem with plenty to offer the right person. Viewings and vettings are welcome.

Ghost is an eye catching cremello 15hh 7 year old Welsh D cross
My teenage daughter has done a bit of everything with him-All PC activities, jumping, X country, hunting, showing and
British Dressage where he qualified and competed at the BD Quest finals at Arena Uk achieving an amazing score of 70% and a 4th place.

He marches out on a hack, alone or in company and is good with traffic.

He really loves his jumping and has comfortably jumped courses of 80cm with plenty more scope.

Ghost may not be suitable for a novice rider as he is still young and takes confidence from his rider. He can be strong on the ground and unsure of new people so needs patient handling.

He would make a fantastic allrounder or equally easily go up the levels in dressage as he has lovely consistent elevated paces.

This is a heartbreaking decision but due to my daughter’s exams and other commitments we just don't have the time he deserves. He loves having a job and always tries to please now needs a new best friend to get him out and about and continue his education and have fun.

It is impossible NOT to love this exquisite boy!

Fabulous Irish Draught gelding by Coilldarach Scirocco, out of a Welcome Flagmount mare

This striking lad just oozes quality. With straight movement, clean legs and 10 inches of bone, Max is a serious HOYS centre line Maxi prospect or top contender for Draught classes - He moves with power and rhythm, his presence turning heads wherever he goes.

He has just started his dressage training, which is made easy by his exceptionally trainable brain - a lovely active walk, a flowing trot and a naturally well balanced canter - the judges are going to love him whether he is in the dressage arena or the show ring!

Max is safe to ride in open spaces and was impeccably behaved for his morning out with the hounds, where he received many compliments on his fabulous manners and temperament.

He is excellent to hack - patient to open gates and great in traffic - he passes donkeys and barking dogs, taking everything in his stride with an exceptional attitude.

Max has a soft snaffle mouth, and is a real armchair ride on top of all of this

Easy to catch, bath, clip & shoe. Loads and travels like a pro. He is vice free, has no lumps bumps or sarcoids and is up to date with worming, vaccinations and dentistry

Affectionately known as Hippopotamax, this yard favourite is a pleasure to have around. He is a real eye catcher and is sure to do his best in any job.

Gaston, approx 15hh, 8yr old, smart palomino gelding.

Gaston has mainly been used as a happy hacker for the last 3 years, attending pleasure/endurance rides, and also unaffiliated dressage.

We took him to an arena hire yesterday where he behaved really well, jumped some little show jumps, not looking at any of the fillers, and then went happily over ditches, up/down steps, and through water without any hesitation or need for a lead.

He hacks very well, is good in traffic. He is easy to catch/box/clip/shoe etc. Lives in or out. A very straightforward horse to have around the yard.

We think Gaston will make someone a lovely, fun allrounder.

16.3hh, 7yo, maxi cob mare (Non-Marish). A genuine, quality sort that is hard to find, She has the presence and jump to stand out anywhere.

Under saddle she’s snaffle mouthed and done a little of everything. She is a forward going type and loves to jump (never gets strong or silly). Very brave and scopey over a fence and never says no.

Nicely Schooled and a very good mover will do well in the ring or equally would suit competent amateur who wants a competitive allrounder. She has been to multiple shows including stay away shows at Arena UK where she was a firm crowd favourite producing clears in the BN classes.

She’s good to hack alone and in company in the heaviest of traffic and is brilliant in open spaces.

No vices but not suitable for nervous riders as still only young and sensitive although she is very well behaved and very pleasant to deal with in all ways. Is sedated to clip.

There is not enough words to do this horse justice she is adored by everyone that meets her and deserves to find her forever home.

Duchess is a serious stamp, that would excel as a show hunter, hunter or dressage horse.

Duchess is nicely bred, she is an Irish sports horse by ID stallion Western Blues out of an irish sports horse mare by Dock Leaf, she only has a small amount of TB blood, and to look at she looks like a full ID with good conformation and bone.

Duchess has previously been hunting in Ireland, once imported to the UK she has been in an amateur home enjoying hacking schoolwork, and riding club activities.

On the flat Duchess works in a beautiful outline showing off her stamp and presence. She is currently working at prelim/novice level with all the ability and attitude to go up the levels. She has competed at a training show with us, she was well behaved and judges commented on her correct way of going and ability.

Duchess hasn’t done an excessive amount of jumping due to her previous home not being jumpers. She has been around courses here of 70/80cm always progressing well and eager to please. She would be a super allrounder for someone wanting to have fun.

Duchess is good to hack alone and in company, and would certainly enjoy being back out on the hunt field, and recently did some fun rides. She is mannerly and does not get hot up in open spaces. Good in traffic, and is a reliable sort out hacking.

Duchess is not marish, she is good in the stable. She is good to catch, load, shoe, clip etc. She is a very easy horse to deal with and a pleasure to have on the yard.

For sale on behalf of a client, a sad sale with a genuine reason. Good home is priority.

No vices
Open to vet.

BILBO


Ref #: 399513
  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter
SOLD!
  • Cob
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 15.2 hands
  • 15.2hh black Irish HW cob gelding rising 7 yrs
  • Fun all rounder, hack, possible hunter

Bilbo is well known to us as we sold him as a four year old to his current owner. She has done a bit of everything with him and sent him back to us 14 months ago to find a new home, when push came to shove she couldn’t bare to part with him and she took him home again, shortly after this finding out she was pregnant and so he has been on loan to a local equine college for the past year. Bilbo has decided that college life is not for him and he would like a more varied workload and so has returned to us as his owners family keeps growing and she’s now not in a position to have him home.

Although he has worked in the college riding school he has learnt to get a little cheeky with the novices. Since being with us and being properly ridden again he hasn’t put a hoof wrong. Bilbo has been nicely schooled and works very well on the flat, he’s done some unaffiliated dressage and would enjoy continuing this. He will happily jump round a course of 70/80cm currently, isn’t bothered by fillers, water trays etc. and is brave and genuine. He has had limited XC outings but again is brave and gives a good feeling over a fence. He’s a solid chap and obviously not bred to show jump but gives everything a go and is good fun. I would say a competent novice who wants to do a bit of everything would be ideal for him, hes not sharp or silly but has a brain and found riding school work very boring.

Bilbo loves his hacking both alone and in company, he’s good in open spaces and good in traffic. He needs to find a rider who will give him variety in his work as the more he does the sweeter he is. He hunted in his youth with us and loved it and would love to get out again

Bilbo is very easy in and out the stable, good to box, catch, shoe, clip etc. and happy to live in or out. He’s a nice person to have in on the yard.
