Cobs and Heavy Horses: Allrounder

Looking for confidence giver


Ref #: 369595

  • Safe
  • Confidence giver
I am looking for a safe, confidence giving first horse for hacking and low level activities.

I am not a beginner but I am coming out of a riding school so I need a steady and forgiving horse that doesn’t look to its rider for confidence too much. No bucking, rearing or serious napping.

I do have lots of help and support around me and I know how to look after a horse.

I am mainly looking to do off road hacking alone and in company, but a horse that will also step up and do some schooling, small jumps, dressage, fun rides, beach trips etc will be ideal.

Mare or gelding
14.2-15.1hh
Must be able to carry 13 stone
No TBs
6-14 years
No vices
Must be easy to handle, catch etc
Prefer no wall eyes or cremellos

Loving, long term, fun home awaits the right horse. Around 7k budget based in Kent so mainly looking in the south east but will travel further for the right horse.

  • Perfect partner for someone wanting to move up the levels in dressage, hack and do low level SJ
Beautiful, intelligent mare who has a trainable attitude and a bright future ahead. 3 correct and active paces. Scoring and placing well at Prelim level, including a win with 68% last weekend, gaining herself some 7.5s and an 8. Schooling at novice and starting to introduce some Elementary movements at home.

Green but honest jump. Attended group clinics, arena hires and unaffiliated shows picking up double clears and placings at 60cm. Loves her pole work.

XC & arena event schooled. Unphased with ditches, skinnies, steps, water etc

Hacks alone/company. Foot perfect when out on fun rides/hound exercises. Absolutely loves being out and about. Nothing phases her on the road - HGVs, Camper vans, cyclist, farm machinery etc. Stands to open gates.

Snaffled mouth. Never strong or silly. Good to bath, shoe,catch,load,travel,teeth. Clipped all year round. Good with body/face and have previously done legs without sedation but she doesn’t stand still so I’ve started sedating for a quicker and better finish.

Turns out with mares or geldings. Stabled next to stallion, not at all mareish with him.

Majority of the time she’s easy to handle however she has her moments when she knows her strength on the ground and can be grumpy/sensitive to touch at times. Respects the bit so I use a bridle on days I know she might be strong i.e when leading to field after being kept in due to bad weather. I handle her by myself at home and away at shows without any issues.

This mare is worth her weight in gold for safeness under saddle. She’s always been a horse I can trust completely. I’ve ridden her during windy rainy storms, fireworks, construction works, misbehaving horses and she doesn’t bat an eyelid. Away from home she’s relaxed and just gets on with her job. Although her laid back nature under saddle suits a novice rider, to get the best out of her I am looking for an experienced home that will continue her education and give her a varied life with plenty hacking and clinics.

Would love to see her out at Pet Plan festivals this summer and progress up the BD levels!

Update to date with teeth/worming/vaccinations.

Pictures and videos available on reuqest.

Price 1.5y K&M saddle with flex-on stirrups, bridle, swish rugs, liveryman harmony plus/classics clippers. Price without tack etc £11,000. No loans or offers. Excellent trial facilities. 25 mins from Edinburgh Airport.

8 yo 17.1 Irish Draught gelding by Trendy Glider (Glidawn Diamond)

Huge is relatively compact for his height but has a good 10 inches of bone, a real old fashioned type with a wonderful temperament. Since being with us he has hacked, schooled, done fun rides and hunted both in the field and field mastering.

Hunted with several packs and good with hounds. He’s light in the hand, balanced, and forward-thinking. He would definitely affiliate dressage and be a contender for the associated championships or be a valued team quest member.

Despite having a shiver behind, he has hunted unshod this season without any issues. Huge is great with people of all ages, including teenagers and older riders, though he’s not a complete novice ride due to the occasional green moment.

He’s good to catch, clip, and load, and would thrive in a loving, committed home.

Selling due to retiring from the mastership and family commitments.

12.3hh, 5 Year Old traditional Gelding.

I have owned Uno since he was a yearling, I bought him as a terrified, scrawny baby to keep my youngsters company through weaning, luckily he's grown up into a smart little pony with a nice attitude towards life. I know him inside out, he's grown hugely in confidence, he's safe & polite, can be handled by children. He'll stand to be groomed, fussed, easy to lead around. Never kicked or been nasty. He's good to do in all ways, loads and travels well, doesn't get over excited but definitely not your typical plod.

He was professionally backed and ridden away by an experienced child show rider last year, he was by no means rushed. He spent the winter with me at home, but due to no rider - he was intermittently ridden by an adult. I have since sent him back to be ridden and further his education.

Uno is established enough to go and become someone's best friend, whilst he is a little green, he's sensible and doesn't go anything stupid. He'll happy walk, trot and canter in a nice outline, pop a jump, hack out with company. He has been hacked alone, proving to be confident.
He's a smart pony, and a big mover under saddle - I feel he's do so well in the show ring but is also more than capable of taking a confident child out hunting, farm rides etc. I truly believe that this pony will go far in the right hands.

I'm seeking an experienced family home for him, somewhere he can continue his education, gain experience and live a fun life. He's never said no, and tries so hard to please. But more importantly, this pony owes me nothing. I am negotiable, long term loan, LWVTB or a loan from my premises in Crewe, Cheshire.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information, more videos and photos available.

Clayhall Teddy is a cracking little cob gelding. We have had him since weaning and are only selling him as he has already grown a lot taller than expected.

His mum was a small Welsh X, sire unknown, must have been a bigger chunkier type.

He’s currently 12:3 so likely to make around 13:2 I would guess.

He has a CHAPS passport is fully vaccinated, regular feet trims and worm control. Loves being groomed and handled and enjoys company of other horses.

Teddy has very smart paces and is well balanced in walk, trot, canter.

Based near Gatwick Surrey/W.Sussex border.

Badger has been that absolute horse of a lifetime type for my daughter for the past 4 years. He’s been the best all rounder we could have wished for.

Taken part and been placed in Pony Club area competitions in sj and dressage, attended all rallies, camps etc. Competed BE80 (Black Blakeney) with my daughter and BE90 with previous owner. My daughter is ready to step up and Badger is now looking for his next person.

Good to hack alone and in company, been on numerous fun rides and hunted. Good to travel (we have 3.5t lorry) clip etc.

He will come with full wardrobe which includes a dressage and gp saddle.

Daughter’s instagram is badger_eventing which has lots of pictures/videos from over the years.

Upto date with physio, vaccinations, teeth etc. Never had a day off lame. He has a few lumps and bumps which will come with a horse of his age but nothing that has ever caused him any issues.

He’s fit and ready for the season ahead.

Extremely stunning, beautiful and incredibly handsome “Turbo Cob” who I bought for the riding school last year but he has too much va-va-voom for the kids!

He stands at 15 hands and is rising 6 years old and a total gentleman in every single way! He has done beach rides, arena hires, forest hacks etc.

He has had kids climb all over him, he is super to clip, catch, hack, load. His only fault is he is very forward going! He would never ever bolt or get too strong to hold he just has an engine and accelerates forwards up his transitions. I ride him in a snaffle but a kimblewick is better.

He would be unnerving to a beginner but a whole lot of fun for a more experienced rider.

He jumps everything and anything with a wonderful technique! The child jumping him in the photo is 12 years old so he can easily be ridden by children but not nervous nellies! I can’t sing his praises enough, he really is the most darling chap!
