SWEET COB MARE- UNCOMPLICATED, SAFE AND SENSIBLE

SWEET COB MARE- UNCOMPLICATED, SAFE AND SENSIBLE


Ref #: 411056

  • Same private home since she was 3 - dearly loved

  • 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.

  • Easy to do on the ground

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.

Subulter Fern - Stunning dapple grey mare,16.2hh, 6years, weight carrier. Safe and Steady Draught / Irish Cob

Happy Hacker, Weight Carrier, Ride and Drive, Low Maintenance

Fern is an ultimate confidence giver, exceptional 16.2hh chunky mare with a leg in each corner, this rare combination of safety, strength, experience, and a heart of gold. She is kind, bold, dependable weight carrier, ideal for a wide range of riders from competent noice to more experienced jockeys who prefer a calm sensible mount with an engine.

Fern is beautifully put together and has been there and done it in every sense. A calm, considerate and willing mare, she is a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability and responsiveness. She has a 5th gear to die for when asked, she will love jumping both coloured and rustic fences, she is bold, athletic and careful she would compete in showjumping, cross country, working hunter, hunting, the great thing about Fern is that she has the ability to excel in any discipline while remaining calm and unfazed, she is being completely wasted in a riding school as she has so much potential.

she has been driven prior to us getting her both Single, Pair: harnessed side-by-side to a carriage and team in agricultural, draught, two heavy horses working together.

Fern is currently working 4 days a week in a professional riding school environment, she has excelled with every level of rider from competent novices to advanced, group and private lessons,both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

She would be ideal for hunting. She will stand and wait calmly within large crowds and open spaces and remains completely unfazed by loud noises or horses running around her. She does not fizz up, spook or spin.

Fern loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. She will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. She is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. She remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible.

Fern has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she’s happy living in or out. In the field, she keeps herself to herself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Fern has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness. She is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. She is excellent to catch, great to load and travel, good with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

She is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. She can have weeks off and return to ridden work without any fuss. She maintains her condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

She passes our annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Fern is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you are a novice rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Fern fits the bill perfectly. She is a genuine schoolmistress who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Fern is ready to bring joy to her next rider and deserves the very best home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We rotate our stock and we are currently reducing our numbers so we have a few other horses and ponies available for sale.

Unfortunately Teddy has some trust issues… He still has nervous tendencies and has some issues with mounting, bathing and clipping but good to load and the farrier and once he trusts you he’s much better. Therefore no novices.

  • Would suit a competent mother daughter share

Tommy is currently based with us at The Talland School of Equitation, where he has been an all round school horse for the last 2 years, ridden by students and clients up to Stage 3 level. He is sadly for sale on her behalf, as she has a young family and doesnt have the time he deserves.

Prior to this, he has been a family horse done a bit of everything low level, gone on hunts including bloodhounds drag hunts, has jumped everything asked of him. Competed unaffiliated dressage, show jumping and cross country has gone to xc, show jumping training, hacks alone or company.
We don’t hack out very much at Talland, but with his owner is fine in company, out hacking alone takes confidence from rider or someone on ground. Prior to coming to us, he was also in riding school for a year with Widbrook EC.

He lives in or out, with us is turned out in a herd and is very settled.

He would be most suited to a home where he will be kept busy, and have a varied lifestyle, perfect Riding Club all - rounder. He wouldn’t suit a happy hacking home, or a beginner home.

He has a fab temperament, and will make someone a great fun friend. Would suit a competent mother daughter share. He is good to handle on the ground, good to clip, trim, shoe etc. Good with the vet.

Please feel free to email, call or text for more info.

By First impression

A real smart type with good movement and plenty of limb. A type to suit many jobs!

She has such a lovely sweet temperament, very laid back to handle and deal with.

Shes just started being broken, lunging nicely with a roller on and just started long reining. Shes been a superstar with everything we have done so far and sure will be really straight forward to get on.

She shows amazing talent over a jump!

We will continue to break her, her price will increase the more she does.

Searching For A Family Friend / Allrounder To Enjoy Hacking, Pleasure Rides, & Low Level Adventures

  • Full Up 14.2 - 15hh. Age 6 -14 yrs
  • Must Be Confident Hacking Out & Passing Farm Vehicles
  • Lightweight Cob / Connemara Or Similar Type
I am searching for a trustworthy, best friend type to welcome to our kind, knowledgeable, family home. Our horses are treated as part of our family & they receive the absolute best of care. I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.

I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, due to ongoing health issues with my horse, who is now retired, I haven’t ridden as consistently in more recent years & so I am no longer as confident as I once was. Therefore, I am seeking a laid back, best friend type, who does not need riding most days to remain safe & sane (realistically, I will generally ride 3-4 times a week).

We will be enjoying fun hacks from home, attending organised pleasure rides, forest trips, XC schooling & some clinics. I will at times want to hack alone but will also hack alongside my young daughter on her (sometimes quirky!) horse, so it is especially important that I find a level-headed, trustworthy type who I can depend on. Due to us going out in our horsebox regularly, I would like to find a horse who is good to load / travel &, most importantly, who remains calm & polite to handle & ride in different environments.

Our horses are kept at home with us & have all year turnout (stabled overnight during winter). I would love to find a gentle natured, polite character & a true best friend type.

We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, when we do, it is often likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle. Therefore, it is hugely important that my new horse is confident around this type of traffic.

* I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ & that ‘bombproof’ does not exist & I am open to compromise, but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would want to have any potential horse vetted *

We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.

Where do I start! I purchased Hercules as a foal from Ireland. As a 3 year old I showed him in hand a a few local venues taking Champion a few times. Feb 2023 he was backed, April 2023 his under saddle competition career started.

So when he was 4 years old he was:
* Nottinghamshire County Show Champion and qualified for LIHS
* Stars Champion of Champions Hunter Champion
*LIHS Middleweight/Heavyweight Hunter Championship 9th with a friend riding him
*won numerous championships showing at various venues

5 years of age
*LIHS Middleweight/Heavyweight Hunter Championship 2nd with me riding him
*Competed Novice and Ele British Dressage scoring up to 75.4%
*British Dressage Associate Draught Championships, Novice & Elementary Champion
* won numerous championships showing at various venues

6 years of age:
*Competed in x3 Medium British dressage scoring between 69-72%
*Qualified for Associate British Dressage Draught Championships at Ele and Medium level (didn’t go to Championships as I the rider had surgery)
*Qualified LIHS Middleweight/Heavyweight Hunter Championship (didn’t go to Championships as I had surgery)

When Hercules was 4 years of age my friends 5 year old daughter rode him in the arena, walk, trotting, circles, he was in an outline it was VERY special to watch. He is genuinely the safest horse to ride there is! Hercules is very trainable and takes everything in his stride, his lateral work, half passes he gets 7.5’s for, his extended trot he can now get a 7 for and every score sheet there's plenty of 7.5 even the odd 8!

He's done numerous fun rides, gallops, beach rides, proving safe and sensible, never getting strong or silly. He's jumped logs and small xc jumps but nothing big. I've not jumped him at home other than the odd cross pole as its not my thing!
I said that id never sell Hercules as he's the most special horse I've ever owned, however I'm 51 and my body is struggling. I've had more down time than ridable time for the past 10 months from surgeries and I've decided to sell both horses as my body unfortunately isn’t coping!

Last March Hercules started to make a noise so July last year he had a successful tie back operation which now means he makes NO noise when ridden and is now able to go out and win any showing class. He also has more energy for the dressage so it was a wise decision made last year.

Hercules has the most adorable temperament and is easy in every way! The only thing he doesn’t like is tractors, wagons and water! I don’t hack him from home as our road is 60mph and he isn’t great with big vehicles but I have trailered him to other locations and hacked him where the roads are quieter and he's fine. On fun rides he doesn’t like to get his feet wet!

Hercules has no vices, blemishes, he has clean legs, no lumps or bumps, good feet and a beautiful brain! I'm very particular who buys Hercules as I love this horse.

PROVEN 15hh DRESSAGE/EVENT WELSH COB GELDING

Fabulous opportunity to purchase Marl Mostyn (stable name: Merlin) a much loved and exceptionally talented 15hh, 14-year-old, black, Welsh Cob gelding.

In his long-term partnership with his former rider he competed at BE80 and BE90, placing 7th with a 29.5dressage on his last outing.

Her attentions then switched to dressage where he regularly scored 67%+ at Novice and Elementary level BD.

He was then sold to a lady in her 60s to rekindle the riding of her past, but tragically it has transpired that her own spinal issues mean his talents are being wasted and she has accepted, the sad decision to sell, is in his best interests.

Exquisitely schooled on the ground and under saddle this stunning gelding is sensitive, light and obedient on the flat and has powerful paces and a scopey, exhuberant, careful and bold jump.

He is proven and yet has untapped potential and so we will assess all applicants carefully to ensure he has the best future going forward and are seeking a talented teen or competent adult and not children - rider in the photos is 5'10''!

Barefoot all his life his current owner has adopted that easily.

Trial facilities at his home in the New Forest.

A historic sarcoid removal is declared and reflected in his price.
