Colour Impact aka Joey cob
Available to the very best of homes, reluctant sale through no fault of his own , it is time someone else has the pleasure he has given me.
158cm, 14 yr old, gelding. Based in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.

Joey needs no introduction, he's been there and done it ,successfully over the country as a maxi cob, and a native coloured. Qualified HOYS & Ri, London International. Competed at dressage ,novice scoring in the 70% .

Now looking for a home where he can have some fun as an all-rounder, hacking , pleasure rides , hunting , fun stuff! He doesn't want to be schooled day in ( he is sick of it) ,day out going around in circles. He loves hacking , and going out on a show day !

He is a gentleman to ride , polite and light. Not a novice ride as he is forward , but the brakes equally work. He is nicely schooled , will hack out alone and in company. Doesn't get strong in an open space.

He is good to catch , to shoe, bath , stands quietly while you get on, loads and travels on a trailer, 3.5 tonne lorry or a 7.5 tonne lorry no bother. Will stand eating his net happily at venues.

He doesn't love being clipped , but this can be done with no gadgets or sedation, as I have done on my own for the last 4 years.

He is up to date with farrier , worming and vaccinations

Real head turner. Stunning looking boy needs an experienced rider to further his education.

Showing an aptitude for Hunting and would make a striking show hunter.

I love this horse to bits but have found myself over horsed having previously ridden a finer/small type

He thrives on good ad lib hay with a little hard feed and grass. A real good doer :)

Excellent limbs and feet.

Regularly received maintenance dental & physio appointments to keep him in top condition.

Horse of a Lifetime- Golden Delight


Ref #: 394720
  • Striking middleweight ID cross mare with fabulous movement in all 3 gaits

  • Striking middleweight ID cross mare with fabulous movement in all 3 gaits
  • Forward responsive ride and loves to work. Never spooky
  • Amateurs Dream - safe and easy all respects

Golden Delight (Millie) combines the rare combination of presence and talent with a lovely safe and easy temperament making her the perfect horse for ambitious amateur rider.

She has 3 expressive, powerful paces and is a forward ride and lovely soft snaffle mouth. Millie is low milage as she has been allowed to grow into her frame and is therefore a little green for her age.

She still needs to learn to balance herself at times and currently needs her rider to help her stay connected, but she is a quick learner and loves her schooling.

She shows real ability to both collect and take the weight behind and extend and has potential for the higher levels. She is very focused and does not spook in the arena.

Millie has seen coloured fences and is bold and honest to a jump but she has not done much jumping and her forte is dressage.

Millie is good to hack out alone and in company and is polite and controllable in open spaces. Millie was imported from Ireland and could have very well hunted their but we have no proof of this. She does show all the attributes to be a top class hunter as she is not marish or bothered by other horses close to her. She also would be a fantastic horse for fun/beach rides etc.

Millie is polite and easy to handle, good to catch, box, shoe, clip etc; she is a kind and friendly mare who loves people.

She really is a horse of a lifetime for the right person and is only very sadly for sale due to current owners ongoing back problem. Not for someone very novice or nervous as she does have an engine and big movement.

Millie has some very small sarcoids on her inner thigh that have not changed over the last year. She also has a heart murmur that has been fully investigated by a cardiologist is not of any concern. Report is available to confirm this. This is reflected in price.

COLBY 16.2h 5yo.

A proper stamp with a leg in each corner & 10” bone.

Owned since a foal and broken in by ourselves as a 3.5-year-old. He has always been a very manageable and accommodating type, with a loving, kind, and affectionate temperament.

He has hunted a full season with various packs, including drag, bloodhounds, and trail. He will hack out alone with no napping, spooking, spinning, bucking, bolting, or rearing, and is good in traffic and most importantly he stands quietly at the pub.!!

Colby will come off the lorry anywhere and remain calm and relaxed. He stands well at the meet, will queue for a fence, and is equally happy to lead. He is super bold and would make a serious Masters horse, but is also steady enough for a family share. Also rides and leads little pony’s !!

He has been on several riding holidays and fun rides with me last summer. We always do plenty of cross-country schooling with our horses, so he is excellent with ditches, banks, water, timber, and hedges.

He is a lovely, unspoilt five-year-old, produced slowly, and is now ready for his new home. We will all be very sad to see him go.

He would make a fabulous candidate for the mounted police.

Absolutely no vices.
No trials. No loans. No payment plans. No swaps. No novices. No happy hackers. No first time buyers. Proper hunting people or close, need apply.

  • Proven broodmare
  • Excellent bloodlines
  • Sweet willing nature
8-year-old registered Welsh Section D with established bloodlines and a really good brain. This mare has produced three registered foals, the most recent with us smoothly at home last year (see pics) so would be an asset to any stud.

She has a very sweet, gentle nature and is kind by temperament, making her a great candidate for someone looking to bring her on under saddle. She is currently unbroken and has had limited careful ground work, so will require an experienced and knowledgeable home to continue her education. That being said she is very biddable and easy to work with in the stable and on the ground and will follow you anywhere once she knows you.

She would be an asset to any stud or equally ready for a ridden career.

Photos do not do this mare justice. Everyone who sees her comments on her quality.

Genuine sale and 5 star home a must.

Saffy has been a dream to work with, she loves to please and always willing to learn, the type that’s been here before.

Has done dressage, SJ and been XC schooling taking everything in her stride.

Doesn’t need riding every day, exactly the same if she hasn’t been sat on for a week.

Hacks out alone and in company, golden in open spaces. Not strong, sharp or silly.
Turns out with mares and geldings or happy on her own. Will live in or out.

Good to catch, box, bath, clip and with the farrier.

100% sound, vice free, never been lame, sick or sorry. (Not been rushed or pushed).

Same home since a foal, special home required for such a special mare. No novices please, she is amazing but deserves someone with experience.

Saffy’s a rare sort to find, she’s a true genuine all rounder. Would suit a mother/daughter/son share or anyone wanting a best friend to go out, have some fun and appreciate what a fantastic horse she is.

  • Great presence which would absolutely suit the hunting field
  • Would suit a lady or gentleman rider

Dolly is a headturner receiving compliments on her looks wherever she goes, she has great presence which would absolutely suit the hunting field.

Dolly is quite a forward ride for her type, and for her size does not ride big, therefore would suit a lady or gentleman rider. She is not a tricky ride and is comfortable and uphill to sit on.

Dolly has only recently started work in the school where she can canter laps in self carriage on the correct canter lead without continual help from the rider, and is starting to walk and trot on the bridle and pop a small fence. Her canter is small and collected underneath you which is easy and non tiring to sustain, more like a 15.2hh.

I backed Dolly last summer for her owner and she has since hacked alone or in company, and is used to all traffic etc but has just grown too big for her owner who has had her since a foal.

Dolly is a big girl, she is well behaved because she knows her manners. She is really easy for her age but as with any young horse she will need to continue with her education.

Dolly is good in all respects box shoe catch clip etc

Good fitted tack and rugs included.

The kind you dream about

Bella is the definition of a genuine horse who is very easy to own. Incredibly kind, willing, and a pleasure to have around, she’s happy living in or out and takes everything in her stride.

A quick learner with a fantastic attitude, she’s improving all the time and offers a lovely, eye-catching way of going. Safe, sensible, and as close to “bulletproof” as they come, she’s the perfect partner for someone wanting confidence and quality in one package.

Kind & straightforward
Quick to learn & eager to please
Great mover with lots of potential - forward with great paces
Safe, sensible & reliable


Over the last year I have done everywith Bella, and she has taken me from being a true beginner to being a confident, happy rider. We have done fun charity rides, regular weekly RC schooling, hunter trials 70/80, show jumping competitions 60/70, and endless hacking with my children on their ponies. I can ride and lead, i can sit my 3 year old on son on her, my 8 year old daughter can turn her out and bring her in. She is happy in or out, barefoot, and as low maintenance as you can imagine. VERY genuine reason for sale.

A real sweetheart who just wants to get on with her job and look after her rider. Truly heartbreaking sale, so serious enquiries only. Full wardrobe available.

PLEASE NOTE, BELLA IS NOT A PLOD ALONG COB. She is forward, sporty, and super fun, whilst being really safe. She has a beautiful big neck and as a result can feel heavy. Becuse of her type, she is not feather light in the hand.

  • Dressage trained up to Novice with scope to go further.
  • Beautiful markings, eligible for CHAPS. Would suit a show ring.

Polly is an allrounder super cob, with so much potential and character. Polly is a calm ride, she has never tanked with me or been out of control, but she does get very excited going into fences. She is currently on loan to an equestrian college where she is doing all types of lessons with students. Polly is good to lunge in long reins and be long reined. Polly would be eligible for CHAPS and in the right hands would make a great horse in the show ring. She has been with her current owner for 5 years, in which time she also birthed a foal in 2023. 

Polly is able to be isolated, but prefers to be able to see other horses in the field and yard. Out hacking she is better with other horses, but she is very happy to be taken away from others to be exercised and be schooled alone. She copes well with changes of environment and has been out to several competition venues on her own for unaffiliated dressage and pole work clinics. I’ve never hunted her or gone cross country as I prefer dressage, but she loves jumping and with the right training could do more.

Polly is very well behaved for a farrier, vet, dentist and physio. Her feet are bare and she’s always been sound footed. She loves being groomed and tolerates clippers. Polly travels well, but is not the perfect loader up a steep ramp - no matter what, she always goes in. Once in, she travels quietly and is happy being travelled alone or in company. The days where I was travelling her consistently, she was so much better at loading. I was told she was travelled in a trailer before I purchased her, and a previous owner who contacted me said she never had issues travelling her, so I have always put it down to our particular steep ramp.

Polly is very smart and a consistent routine pays off extremely well. She is happy to be caught when she knows the routine (e.g. in winter when she knows she’s being brought in for the nighttime), otherwise she can be a little mareish and decide she’s not in the mood. During the summer when she’s not coming in to the yard consistently every day, we keep a head collar on or pop one on when she’s having her morning feed to catch her later in the day. Food and treats are always the best bribe!

If you’re looking for a cob with huge ridden capabilities, the ability to jump and do dressage - Polly’s has this in heaps. She would also suit a family where there was more hacking available than I’ve ever had, as she would suit the happy hacker life. Polly is very much the sort of horse that loves familiarity, routines and established relationships. She has so much to give someone who has the time to build a relationship with her.

I’m only selling her due to the fact that I’m pregnant with my second child and I have kept her offspring to be my next horse, so I cannot give Polly the full attention she deserves. A good home is essential for this lovely horse.

I think he would prefer a active home doing a bit of everything. He is low mileage for his age so would suit more a confident experience rider.
