SWEET COB MARE- UNCOMPLICATED, SAFE AND SENSIBLE

SWEET COB MARE- UNCOMPLICATED, SAFE AND SENSIBLE

  • Ideal Happy Hacker
  • Reason for sale - retirement of owner/rider
  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved
Striking, unspooky and very easy, friendly 15.1hh black cob mare (born October 2020) with significant presence who has been out and about locally and on fun rides - ridden by all ages (64-12).

She has the potential to do a lot more in the right hands. She has been gently hacked out over the last 2 years and is reliable, sensible and safe. Owner is now looking to retire from riding and wants to see her fully optimised as the SWEET horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse she can become.


This little horse moves nicely and is happy to pop a log and is happy with trotting poles and cross poles but has had no formal programme of schooling. She is responsive and quick to learn. She can be hacked on the buckle end, is totally chilled in open spaces, never takes hold and is more whoa than go-go-go. She would be brilliant as a loving family horse and happy hacker with the potential to do low level dressage/ showing/xc .

We live on country lanes and she is good with the local traffic and farm machinery. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot & the guns do not worry her at all. I have never even noticed when she is in season - totally unmareish.


She is ready for a loving owner who will be consistent and who wants to teach her and/or learn with her. (Please note however that due solely to her age and size and my desire to see her progress she will NOT be sold to a total novice or unconfident rider/handler). She is bright and highly teachable - as such she will quickly become “that horse” that many riders want. I have not given her the consistency or next step of schooling and life experience she now is ready for. I would like to see her being brought on and taken out and about intelligently and kindly with a view to being her owner’s “life horse”. She has had a great and happy start here with groundwork, hacking and slow, steady and kind life experience. She is snaffle mouthed.


She has been clipped the last two winters. Barefoot with good hard feet although she was shod when I got her two years ago. She is good to load and easy to handle. She lives in or out – solo or company & is a good doer. (She has been predominantly with mares although her first summer here she shared a field with a gelding and was fine.) She respects electric fencing and does not eat the wood on post and rail fencing. She is unfazed being left on her own in the stable or when her friends leave her from the field and is always pleased to see you when you come to the gate either to say hello or take her in for a groom/ride. Never been sick or sorry.


No timewasters , purchase agreements or loans . 5* home only and, please, only people ready to commit as a swift sale is necessary owing to travel commitments. Please text for a chat and further information, pictures and videos.

  • Excellent to hack alone or in company
  • Easy to do on the ground
  • Old head on young shoulders

Beautiful 15hh 5 year old buckskin Irish cob mare, still bum high with lots of growing left to do. Don’t be put off by her age, she has the most amazing temperament and has so much to offer!

Misty hasn’t been rushed and has been left to mature slowly, she was recently professionally broken in and has proven to be the easiest of horses. She has a very willing attitude to work and is a very fast learner.

Although still green in the school, she will try her hardest for you and will give anything a go with no questions asked. She has seen coloured poles and popped logs.
Misty has mainly been doing lots of hacking, which she loves! She will happily hack out on her own and with others, she will leave horses mid hack with no fuss too. She is excellent in traffic, has seen heavy farm machinery, cyclists, motorbikes, cars and is totally un phased. The farm runs a shoot through the winter, the noise from the guns does not bother her. She has never bucked, reared, spun or bolted, doesn’t rev up in open spaces and is the same if you take her out anywhere in the trailer.

We believe she will make an excellent all rounder, she has a lovely active walk and is nicely off your leg. Even though she is only five, she fills you with confidence and will certainly give you many hours of happy hacking.

This is a very genuine sale due to pregnancy and not having the time to give her, we would love to see her go on to make someone equally very happy. Misty has so much potential to go onto enjoy many disciplines be it, low level jumping, hunting, pleasure rides, showing, dressage etc, she will make the perfect family horse for everyone to enjoy.

Misty is very good to clip, bath, good for farrier, vet and dentist, she will stand all day to be groomed, loads and travels like a dream. Misty can be turned out with others or on her own, she can be left out in the field alone and will happily graze if you take her friend away. She will live in or out and can be left in the field for a week and still be the same horse to ride.

We have lots of videos of her being ridden which can be sent upon request.

Very Special 155cm 7-Year-Old Lightweight Cob

A truly exceptional mare who ticks all the boxes and then some. At just 7 years old, she is beautifully schooled, balanced, and a pleasure to ride in every way.

She loves her work, whether it’s hacking out, tackling cross country, or shining in the ring. Always one to catch the judge’s eye, she consistently finds herself at the top of the line 

A kind, genuine soul, she absolutely thrives on attention and is easy in every aspect of handling. No vices, no fuss, just a straightforward, willing partner who gives her all.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved mare. She is the kind that doesn’t come along often… we truly believe she has the quality and presence for HOYS, yet the temperament to be someone’s forever horse and best friend

A rare blend of talent, heart, and kindness — she will make someone incredibly happy.

We bought her back in December but due to time constraints she hasn't been ridden since the end of Jan so is being sold from the field and may need to be restarted.

She is well handled and straight forward to do everything with and loves a fuss!

She is a young green horse so needs a kind knowledgeable experienced home. No novices please.

Passed a 5 stage vetting with us when we purchased her.

  • Brave as a lion

Nellie is the definition of a sports cob! She absolutely loves whatever you throw at her and has a fabulous can do attitude. Nellie has been professionally broken last year and has been with me to see the world!

I cannot say enough good about her, her flatwork is coming on and she would now be ready to be out doing some dressage tests. Her trot is well balanced and her canter is starting to sit up. Jumping wise she takes is all in her stride, i have been to arena hires where she is un-phased by fillers and the surroundings. She takes you totally by surprise with her scope, and i believe in the right home with correct schooling there is much more to come. She has been XC schooling a handful of times popping in the water, over ditches and steps. She has been to Dallas and popped round as a pair like a dream.

She is more than ready to go out and do some little ODEs to continue her education.

To hack she is total fun, sensible but not a plod, loves to have a job and to get on and have a canter!

I cannot say enough good about this mare!

She has travelled on my 7.5t and is easy to load, currently bare foot.

She is not a beginners pony or for someone who is nervous but a fantastic allrounder for someone to produce further and have so much fun with!

Full History known selling on behalf of breeder

A top home is an almost must for the is special mare.

Please no time wasters or joy riders.

Lady is an Irish, Dunn 8 year old Mare.

Lady has been used as an all rounder for an older lady to enjoy for the last 4 years.

Imported from Ireland as a 3 year old and had same home since then.

Lady has done a bit of low level showing, sj, pole work, clinics and done adult camps. Happily pops round small course.

Would be capable of more with correct rider & with some work we feel has potential for a hunt pony.

While she has mainly used for hacking, she would not be suitable for a home in really busy traffic.

Lady has never had any days sick or sorry. Good strong sturdy type.

Good to clip, box, shoe etc..

Please only good homes, as this is really sad for current owner.

Figgy is such a beautiful mare, loves fuss and cuddles and will stand all day to be pampered. She’s good for trims with the farrier, can be clipped with no head collar on.

She will side up to anything so you can hop on and can be ridden bareback down to her field in just a head collar, she’s gone for lots of in hand walking adventures round the woods, to the pub and through the village, she’s calm in traffic and loves getting out and about, so whilst not properly backed or ridden away just yet, she will be breeze to start, just tack up and go.

She’s done some in hand agility classes and showing classes, some in hand shows and loads and travels well. You don’t need to go catch her, she comes running. Happy with cows and pigs and farm traffic. An all round superstar who is utterly stunning and will make a wonderful allrounder be that for showing, dressage or jumping. Beautifully bred by the Maesmynach stud.

She lives out with access to shelter, turns out in a herd, hates being rugged unless it’s very wet and you’re using a zero fill, never feels the cold. On the ground if you keep on top of her manners she’s a well mannered sweetheart (see her videos)

5* home a must, she deserves to be someone’s everything.

Would love to stay in touch / have the odd update. Open to vetting. Can transport her for you depending on distance. Up to date with teeth (& Wolf teeth removed last year) & vaccinations all UTD. No vices or health concerns, open to any vet. Gloucestershire.

  • He is ready to put miles on him but obviously not for novice or nervous riders.
Fantastic Frank is sadly up for sale. He was supposed to be brought into work after winter but we lack a rider. .

He was professionally and sympathetic backed by the best producer in our area. Frank has proven to be easy to teach and retains easily what he has learned. He is however super green and not suitable for novice or nervous rider.

He will make in the future a super pony, with some serious speed and scope in him. I can see him as a perfect riding club /pony club horse and will be great for hunt and pleasure rides. He will stand with a rider on him at the block for 30 min without moving a foot. He is that hard to find sort.

He is sweet, loves attention and can be cheeky as his is after all a young horse. He is the favourite of our holiday let guests. Frank has one blue and one brown eye.

He loads like a pro and travels fine for the limited times we had to take him. Frank is good to clip and with the farrier. He is up to date with his teeth and vaccinations. Easy to catch. He hasn’t been lame or ill for the time we’ve had him.

I have loads of videos/ photos of Frank available from when he was backed and general photos.

Taz 'Our Surprise' (out of Voigts Anky Panky) is very smart, quality mare looking for a knowledgeable home where she can continue enjoying her work- particularly dressage, which is what she seems to enjoy most.

She has spent the winter competing at Prelim unaffiliated/Pony Club dressage with a 16-year-old rider, consistently improving with each outing.

Flatwork-wise, when in full work she has established:
Leg yield
Shoulder-in
Mediums
Walk to canter

And had started work on:
Travers
Simple changes

She is extremely classy and draws the eye when she's out and about, but is sharp, opinionated, quirky and can be spooky, so absolutely not a novice ride. She is also refreshingly non-dramatic in many ways- she can happily be left in the field, brought in and ridden without silliness. Absolutely does not need riding every day to stay sensible. Barefoot and a good doer- never sick or sorry.

She has never bucked/bronced/bolted but has reared (has done so twice in the past 3 years and was very uncharacteristic). Good to load, trim and clip (although her legs can be tickly).

Jumping-wise, she is happy to pop fences at home, but is very inconsistent competing in SJ/XC. I investigated this last year with a full work up at the vets who concluded it was likely behavioural. As a result, we feel she would be happiest and most successful focusing on dressage, fun rides or general allround activities rather than competitive eventing/showjumping. She is fabulous at stay aways!

She hacks well in company and is fantastic on fun rides and off-road hacking, although she becomes worried by fast traffic on larger roads and can be strong when excited (ridden in a pelham).


Please note:
-She has a sarcoid on her inner thigh. It has been there for approximately 4 years and has not changed significantly so didn't feel the need to remove it.
-Occasionally weaves when stressed.
-Can head toss if she feels she's being 'grabbed'.

This is a really genuine sale of a much-loved horse due to lack of time. She has huge amounts to offer in the right home, as she is sensitive to seat aids and extremely intelligent, but she needs a confident, patient rider! Please Whatsapp for recent videos, my signal isn't great so please message first if you'd like to call. Also available with saddle (Albion K2 Adjusta Dressage Saddle) for additional cost. Price negotiable for the right home and reflective of the points above.

To hack he is 100% safe in all traffic doesn’t get strong in open fields and he’s not the spooky type. My novice mum has hacked him for the 2 years we have owned him and he really looks after her and makes her feel safe.

In the school he has 3 nice paces. He loves a good jump especially out at XC. Toby has hunted in Ireland before I got him and I think he would really enjoy it.

On the ground anybody could lead him he’s used to being around dogs and farm machinery. Tack available at extra cost.

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.

Joey is a lovely 5-year-old Irish Cob × Thoroughbred gelding with a kind temperament and genuine attitude to work. Owned since a yearling, so full history known and carefully produced.

Professionally backed and brought on slowly, Joey has attended training shows, arena hires, lessons, and cross-country schooling where he has always been willing, sensible, and enjoyable to ride. He is still slightly green in the school due to his age and experience, but is eager to learn and improves with every outing.

He hacks confidently alone and in company, is good in open spaces, and has been ridden in traffic. He is good for the vet and farrier, currently shod in front, and is good to load and travel. No known vices.

Joey is a forward-going, fun ride and a genuine all-rounder. He enjoys his work and would suit a competent, confident rider for hacking, pleasure rides, clinics, and Riding Club activities.

A long-term home is important as he benefits from a consistent, one-to-one partnership where he can continue to develop with the time and attention he deserves.

Shaggy the Legend! Do you want something that has brakes, manners, and a brain but is still great fun.

He’s a lovely 6-year-old gelding, 16.1/2hh and somehow still convinced hes a Labrador on the ground.

Very straightforward. Moves well would do well showing, Hacks alone or in company, Traffic doesn’t bother him (tractors, lorries, chaos — he judges silently and carries on)? Good to box, clip, shoe. Has whipped in and hunted with various packs, been on pleasure rides, schooling, hill rides he’s a landrover defender! Manners better than most dinner guests!

This is the sort that turns up, gets on with the job, and doesn’t spend his spare time plotting your early retirement from horse ownership. Doesn’t need riding every day, I would hunt weds and sat and turn him out between prefers to be in when the weather isn’t nice!

Whether you want to hunt, hack, have fun, or just own something sane enough to restore your faith in horses — he’s your man. Has

Only for sale because of a sad change of direction for his lady owner hanging up her hunting boots.

Shaggy has hunted with the SWWW, Eggesford, Tiverton, Teme Valley, Cottesmore, Cotswold, Dulverton West and Vale TB Harriers. He’s whipped in, field mastered and goes off on his own. He’s equally happy ‘coffee housing somewhere’. Stands like a rock at the meet with hounds literally underneath his front legs, stands stops and goes. Extremely easy, jumps ditches/rails etc. He has 3 good paces on the flat and would do well in the show ring as he moves very well for a bigger horse. Still got some filling out to do so would be a sensible weight carrier. Very easy to do and have at home, current owner juggled hunting, young child and full time job. Stays away from home visiting other packs happily and will stand on the trailer with a net alone happily during breakfast meets or a post hunting cuppa. Has also been to an arena xc hire/SJ and has a great jump. Hacks alone or in company roads, open spaces, heavy traffic no ifs or buts. Confidence giving back and if you can find something jump he’s even happier!

Only for sale as owner sadly not hunting next season onwards due to change of direction and Shaggys heart lies on the hunting field. He’s an armchair ride and is snaffle mouthed all of the time. See pics but he is goat/pig/cow proof as lives on edge of working farm so used to all animals and big traffic. If you want something to jump on and go he’s your man! Used to riding out with a multitude of dogs and goats, great on the yard with my little girl and tractors/motorbikes etc.

Serious enquiries only, a good long term home is absolutely paramount. Would love to stay in touch ideally, good trial facilities available, open to vet.

NO MORE TIMEWASTERS. If you book to view please turn up or at least contact in advance if you can’t come anymore!!!

For Sale on behalf of client - Lightening, 14.1 13 years gelding. CHAPS REG

A good sturdy pony! Tall, wide and like an armchair, rides bigger than he measures.

A true happy hacker, loves hacking and anything rural!

Mostly unflappable! Not so keen on rattly trailers but otherwise sound on the roads (manageable with rattly trailers)

He doesn’t enjoy flat work will tolerate it to warm up for jumping but the odd time in the school will grind to a halt, you can get going but can tell he’d rather not trot pretty circles although he’s super well schooled!

Loves jumping, great with canter poles, good corners and really pricks his ears for jumping especially rustic and out in fields! Cob with character ??

Needs to be around people who are experienced to remind him of his manners the odd time and knows the boundaries, he can sometimes forget!

Very laid back in the field
Has had legs clipped in the past but never had body clipped.
Bare foot
Good on the trailer
Full wardrobe available
Clean vet history and up to date with everything

Videos available

A sports horse in a cobs body

Sophie is looking for her forever home, we've had so much fun with her over the last couple of years, but I am too tall for her and would love to see her make someone else happy.

She loves XC, she's been schooling and will happily lead another. She's done hunter trials on her own and as a pair. She's done a mini team chase. And also been out with the farmers bloodhounds. She also competed at trailblazers championships last year in show jumping.

Sophie schools nicely in walk and trot, with the start of some lateral work, the canter is coming, but can be unbalanced at times.

She will live in or out, she does prefer living with other horses. She is good to hack alone or in company, great in traffic and open spaces.

Sophie does need a competent rider as she is a powerful little horse, she wants someone that will have the best time with her. Not suitable for a novice. She's currently in a snaffle, but she has also been in a stronger bit when needed.

Outdoor fun loving horse, she would love a home where she can do fun rides, hunter trails and a bit of hunting.

Serious enquiries only, no time wasters!
