Gardenhill Pat - 2014 Traditional Cob Gelding

  • Fully feathered with full mane and tail
  • Perfect riding club/ BD associated champs prospect
  • Well mannered and good to do

Hamish is a 2014 traditional cob with so much to offer. He is pleasingly forward, quick to learn and enjoys a job. He is good to hack and he loads and travels well. Good for farrier, vet, etc. He is currently barefoot.

Hamish definitely shows a flare for dressage and would enjoy a home where he can show his flying feathers off! He is a good prospect for a competitive riding club or a British Dressage home, and I'm sure he'd do well at Associated Championships.

He has been lightly shown, and proved popular with judges, remaining polite and well behaved in large classes.

Hamish is not a dope on a rope - he is a smart cob with a brain, and consequently would better suit a competent rider that wants to go and do things with him. He is a sweet boy in the stable, and he enjoys a good groom and a massage.

Prior to coming to us, Hamish had been in the same home for eight years and enjoyed a variety of riding club events. Sadly, for sale only because my daughter has lost interest.

Some tack and rugs available by separate negotiation.

15.2hh 5yo Irish Draught mare by Cappa Casanova out of a young Carabawn mare

A lovely, genuine mare who has been in the same home since a 2yo and carefully produced by an amateur with her future as a family horse very much in mind.

She has never been rushed and spent her first year under saddle hacking, allowing her time to mature and gain confidence. She hacks happily alone or in company and is good in traffic. Cookie is super sensible and not spooky. She has also been on a couple of fun rides, where she behaved impeccably.

Cookie has only recently started working in the school but is already proving to have an incredibly trainable brain. She is green in the school but very responsive, with a beautiful soft mouth and a lovely attitude to her work- ready to go to her first shows, which will be reflected in her price if she stays with us to do these.

She has also only recently been introduced to coloured fences and is proving super bold. She is unfazed by fillers and water trays, very straight to a fence and naturally maintains a lovely, steady rhythm both to and away from a fence.

She is a genuinely easy mare to have around and in every aspect of her day-to-day care.

Cookie could really go down any path and I'm sure she will excel at whatever she does.

Sadly, due to a change in circumstances, she is looking for a new home. She was always intended to be a forever family horse, and her education has reflected this throughout. She has been given time to grow, learn and develop with her long-term future in mind.

A lovely young mare with a sensible attitude, a trainable brain and plenty of potential to go on in a variety of directions with her next person.

Open to vet.

  • Would breed cracking foals, has previously had a foal
  • Big traditional solid sort
  • A pleasure to be around as she’s such a sweet horse

Santana has been with me for the last eight months more or less but unfortunately due to a personal circumstance I will sell her.

I had plans to breed from her in the spring and do some in hand showing but unfortunately those plans have now changed through no fault of her own. It is a personal circumstance with myself and she is such a sweetheart to be around and to deal with.

During the time that she was owned by me, she has been at two live yards where she was much loved and taken care of exceptionally well.

Her daily routine was heading out to the paddock and coming in at night during the summer months she sometimes stayed out at night. She is absolutely a pleasure to be around. She loves having a good groom and she is easy to catch.

Food is the way to her heart she loves treats and licks, she has been turned out with geldings and with other mares and young stock.

She’s just a generally easy-going mare and has been with her previous owners since she was just one years old.

So she hasn’t been tossed around from hand-to-hand or from person to person, but unfortunately due to a circumstance, I have to sell her otherwise I would’ve loved to breed my next show horse / dressage horse from her.

It is totally gut wrenching as she has been a childhood dream of mine finding a big coloured mare.

Only serious enquiries she is on livery in the Devon Cornwall border.

A copy of her passport is attached on the images. She is an Anglo European stud book registered mare.

I am selling her as a broodmare

Incredibly hard sale and one I will probably regret.

I have owned Murphy for 3.5 years, he has been broken to ride and drive.

He is a forward cob with good brakes and is brilliant in open spaces- doesn't get fizzy.

He will pass any traffic and nothing worries him.

Great to do in all ways, catch, clip (no headcollar necessary), great with feet not currently shod as has hard feet. Loads and travels well too- we usually go 2 hours to go to our nearest indoor driving competitions.

This lad has so much potential- he could go to a serious showing home (it isn't my thing but he has been shown locally).

He behaves even if others are beside him rearing up or being silly! He has never reared, bolted or bucked- he is a lovely honest lad.

He is rising 7 in the new year and although he's very sensible he is still young, so would like him to go to a rider rather than a passenger! No nervous/novices please.

Up to date with Vaccinations and worming.

Has saddle fittings appointments quarterly and has a made to measure wow saddle- which can come with him at separate neg (purchased new this year).

Hartland competition Carriage and harness also can be sold with him

Eric is an outstanding mover for his class , has terrific limb. He often gets highest conformation mark. He’s up to height & exceptionally striking.

Ridden by myself at his first RI, HOYS & Royal Windsor Championship. Never put a hoof out of place & always looks after me. Eric has a good natural jump & this could be explored further. With his manners & schooling, he’d also be lovely to hunt.

Same owner & producer since 2020, and is part of the family. Current Producer would be more than happy to carry on producing him.

He has been professionally schooled, but also loves to jump and hacks alone or in company, he really has done a bit of everything.

  • Top class show cob

Sunny -15hh rising 4yo absolute sweet heart of a cob absolutely nothing bothers him in life. He has been the best therapy while I have been ill.

He was broken and ridden out on hacks in company up until mid September and he came home for his holidays, he is going through a growth spurt so unfortunetly doesn’t look the straightest but he was poker straight when I bought him at the start of summer so i do believe he just needs to level out again.

He will make a beautiful sweet heavyweight for any level of rider once he is back in work. He loads , catches , stands to be trimmed and groomed and is getting to grips with the farrier for trims.

PLEASE NOTE HE IS OUT OF WORK AND i do not have endless videos as they just at the start of their ridden journey.

Based dumfries , Scotland happy to help with transport. Can be flexible on price for hassle free sale (no veiwing or vetting )

A cob who loves a job!

Gary is a smart cob who thrives on work and is a lovely RC all rounder or hunter type. He is very much the type of cob who likes to have a job to do and is with us looking for his new home as his owner is working a busy London job and hasn’t got time to do as much with him as Gary would like. Current owner was only wanting a couple of days a week happy hacking and Gary previously has been in an active RC home where he did all RC activities and went hunting.

Gary is a quiet ride and the more work he’s in the steadier he is! He’s quite happy to do a bit of everything and enjoys his jumping. He’s more of a whoah than go ride so would be ideal for someone who wants to go off and do everything at local level but who probably isn’t up for a sharper sports horse.

He’s really good fun and has been well schooled on the flat ( wouldn’t be his favourite discipline but he gives it a go) and loves his jumping! Gary is a real trier and happy to go both SJ and XC, he’s very genuine to jump and pops round 80cm no bother.

He would love to go back to a home where he can continue going out and doing fun things.

Gary is excellent out hunting and has been out with us and also previously in his old home, he’s sensible at the meet, good round hounds and other horses and jumps everything asked of him. Smart cob who would safely take most riders out hunting.

At home on the yard he’s easy to handle, box, catch, shoe, clip etc. he’s happy living in or out and is a friendly person.

Seen at livery. Nearly brand new quality tack available by sep negotiation.

A genuine allrounder, Rabbit is safe sensible and forward going.

Rabbit has been successfully shown as a HW and a Maxi Cob with multiple wins and qualifications including 7th Amateur HW at Royal International and 5th Hoys HW at The Great Yorkshire

He is now retired from top level showing due to splints and windgalls but these do not stop him enjoying other activities. He would excel in dressage, jumping, hunting and hacking.

He hacks alone or in company very safely

Rabbit is a very genuine allround gentleman who always aims to please, he loves attention & work. Fantastic in all ways except clipping which he really doesn't like. I have travelled the country on my own with Rabbit showing at top level and he has always been a pleasure to take out and do alone.

Rabbit loves his jumping and is very brave not fazed by fillers and he loves water.

He loves to go out in the field and is currently out 24/7 Mar to Nov and then stabled at night in the winter.

This genuine gentleman thrives on attention and will definitely be your next best friend.

3yo Irish cob gelding to make 15.2/3hh | Backed and riding away

  • A genuine youngster who hasn’t been overproduced.

Smokey Joe is a lovely natured 3 year old Irish Cob gelding with a bright future ahead of him. Currently standing at 15.1hh with plenty of maturing and filling out left to do, he should develop into a super substantial and versatile cob. I expect he will mature to 15.2-15.3hh.

He has been given a kind, quiet start to his education and has been backed and ridden away, lightly hacking around our country lanes both alone and in company. He has seen traffic and farm machinery and has proved sensible for his age.

Smokey is a responsive ride with a nice attitude to his work. He is snaffle mouthed and has the makings of a lovely all rounder for someone to continue producing. He has seen dogs, sheep, cows and donkeys.

He is a pleasure to have around the yard, good to catch and happy to stand patiently tied up. He gets on well with other horses and turns out happily in a mixed herd. He is good for the farrier (currently barefoot) and stands to be groomed and fussed over. He loads well onto both a trailer and a horsebox.

Smokey has had a positive introduction to ridden life and hasn’t been over produced, he is very much a youngster who still needs time to mature physically and mentally. Ideally he would benefit from some time to grow and develop over the winter before continuing his education as a four year old.

He would suit someone experienced looking for a quality young cob to bring on, build a partnership with and put their own stamp on. He has a kind nature and willing attitude, and will make someone a lovely allrounder in the future.

Smokey is offered as a promising youngster who has been lightly started, ready for someone experienced to continue his education. He would not suit a novice or nervous rider at this stage as he is still learning.

He is up to date with the farrier, dentist and worming.

Baloo is a striking, smart young cob with character, willingness and an interesting education already behind him.

Really sweet to be around on the ground, Baloo is a lovely character and a pleasure to spend time with. He’s a seriously cool little chap with so much to offer the right person!

Professionally backed at the start of 2026, he began with plenty of hacking and some schooling before returning home to continue his education. He then spent time at Cox’s Equestrian with Jake, the stunt rider, for further schooling and desensitisation—and they thought he was a great little chap!

His adventures there included carrying flags and jousting poles, long mountain hacks, schooling and starting to jump. He even helped deliver haynets! 😅

With us, Baloo has been out schooling around show jumps and arena eventing fences, where he has been brave, scopey and shown lots of potential. He has willingly tried everything we’ve introduced him to, giving us plenty to be excited about for his future!

He also hacks well alone and in company, taking things in his stride.

Under saddle, Baloo can be tense and a little sensitive at times, so he needs a confident, capable rider to continue his education and bring out his best. He is not suitable for novices. For someone who enjoys building a partnership with a smart young horse, he has so much to offer—we feel he will give his all for the right person.

Throughout the summer, Peggy has been a very popular hireling, taking part in fun rides, beach rides and cross country clinics. She has been a firm favourite, with everyone who has ridden her asking to ride her again.

Peggy previously hunted in Ireland before joining us this summer and has already attended several opening meets this season. She stands impeccably at the meet, without a drop of port spilt, is good with hounds and is happy anywhere in the field.

Peggy is great at nannying children, will ride and lead, and is more than capable of giving others a lead over a fence. Alternatively, she is quite content to stay at the back of the field whilst you enjoy a natter with friends. She will stand quietly on point and is happy to leave the field and hack home alone. Standing quietly on the lorry.

Peggy has been cross country schooled over a variety of fences, including timber, ditches, banks and hedges, and is happy going in and out of water.

At home, Peggy is a pleasure to have on the yard, with absolutely no vices. She hacks quietly alone, does gates and is sensible around livestock, farm machinery and heavy traffic.

She loads and travels well and will stand patiently on the lorry until required.

Peggy is a genuine, versatile mare who would make someone a lovely hunter, Riding Club horse or allrounder.

She would not be suitable for a nervous or novice rider, or an older rider returning to riding after a lengthy break.

A super, kind mare that genuinely looks after her rider. She has plenty to offer and a real pleasure to have around.

Merlin came over from Ireland in 2026 and has been used this summer as a hireling for beach rides, fun rides and cross-country. He has also recently started going out on hound exercise.

He is a seriously fun horse who is very brave and will jump anything you point him at. He is straightforward, genuine and always willing to please.

Merlin is very easy to have around and hacks alone or in company. He is good in traffic and sensible around livestock and farm machinery. He is ridden in a snaffle, does not pull, get hot or silly, and does not kick. He stands quietly at the meet and is not the type to end up with the port down his neck.

A lovely, uncomplicated horse who is ready to enjoy a variety of activities with his next rider.

No stable vices, lumps or bumps. Open to any vetting.
