Cobs and Heavy Horses: Allrounder

Excellent temperament with versatile quality


Ref #: 403063
  • Bred for conformation and temperament
  • He’s hunted, done clinics and fun-rides with previous owner
  • A real favourite with all who meet him
£12,000
  • Cob
  • Skewbald
  • Gelding
  • 11 years
  • 16.1 hands
  • Bred for conformation and temperament
  • He’s hunted, done clinics and fun-rides with previous owner
  • A real favourite with all who meet him

Bred for conformation and temperament, this kind-hearted Cob X is still low mileage and ready to go on to give someone a world of fun.

Jed is snaffle mouthed and works very nicely on the flat. With balanced, expressive paces, we think he can go on to excel in a range of disciplines, with particular potential in the show ring.

He hacks out well around roads and in open spaces, alone or in company, happy in front or behind and is good in traffic.

He’s hunted, done clinics and fun-rides with previous owner and will happily pop round a little course of jumps in a nice rhythm.

He was purchased from his breeder and has been with his current owner for three years where he has mainly been hacking and schooling since then so full history is known.

A real favourite with all who meet him, he loves people and will stand all day to be pampered.

Good to clip, shoe and catch etc. Up to date with vacc’s and teeth. Will turn out with mares or geldings.

He can sometimes get a reaction to pollen in the spring, but this has never been problematic and a nose-net tends to help. Has occasionally been seen to weave in his stable when settling into a new place or when there is lots going on.

He’s a big, well built boy and rides nicely forward off the leg so please no beginners or real novices, though he’s always been impeccably behaved!

He loves a job to do and is happiest in a regular routine. It really is hard to fault this sweet natured chap. It’s an incredibly tough decision to let him go so only this most suitable, kind and knowledgeable home is sought after.

Current owner would love to stay in touch.
He has an extensive wardrobe including fitted saddle, which can be negotiated with price.
Open to any vetting.

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.

Special Requirement / RDA

Kind, Well Mannered, Super Steady and Safe

Please don’t let her age put you off, she most definitely is wise and judicious beyond her years.

If your looking for a horse that has impeccable manners on the ground and when riding, something that is super safe, calm and not phased by anything, that is extremely low maintenance and can be looked after by a child, a horse with more whoa than go, dare I say it…… a bit of a plod, then look no further.


Despite only being 5 years she is so level headed and mature for her age, her laid back personality and attitude to life is 2nd to none.
Peaches is as straightforward as they come with absolutely no quirks or vices.

Peaches is a really nice calm considerate girl, who is unbelievably safe. Ideal for beginner riders, or riders who wants to progress and have some fun, she is super steady, calm and gentle in every way, she has more woah than go …..a bit of a plod, even tho she is super safe, she responds to the leg and has 3 excellent paces, with flare and enthusiasm, she is very sensible and can be forward going if your a more experienced rider, not spooky, sharp or silly in anyway, she is responsive to the leg if you can ride, whilst remaining calm and relaxed, she is extremely willing and will do anything you ask, she has 3 nice balanced super steady paces, she loves to jump a course of small coloured and rustic fences.

Peaches participates in our low level showjumping, cross country, In hand, fancy dress & handy pony competitions.
She is a firm favourite with our lead rein classes, special requirement and RDA rides, both ridden and during stable management and therapy sessions.

She is a fantastic all-rounder.

This is a really fantastic horse for anyone to build up their confidence, continue learning to ride and progress on.
Definitely a 1st and 2nd horse.

Exceptional mare with a heart of gold, she is super loving and affectionate, She has spent the 15 months working in a riding school where she has been ridden by all level riders, from complete beginners who have never sat on a horse before up to advanced riders where she participates in our flat work lessons, privates and groups, with the same enthusiasm now as when he first started her riding school career. She is very genuine and loves to hack out, she doesn’t pull, rush, spook or get nervous of anything, Peaches will hack through the heaviest of very fast moving traffic without batting an eye lid, she is not perturbed by any kind of vehicles or farm machinery.

She will hack out alone or in company through very heavy traffic without batting an eye lid. She is 100% safe, steady and collected when ridden in all paces across open fields, regardless of wether she is at the front, middle, back of the ride or on his own, she will not rush, pull, race or try an overtake even on the way home.

She lives out in a mixed herd but is equally happy to be stabled, she keeps herself to herself and never causes any trouble, she has no marish traits, isn’t clingy, she is happy to be stabled and turned out on her own.

Has excellent manners with the farrier and currently barefoot, she is equally happy to be shoed.
She is excellent to catch, load, travel with the farrier, dentist and vet.

Stardust is such a lovely pony, never nasty, will lick you all day long.

11 years old by Kylebeck Crespo. He is a lovely chestnut / slightly roan in places with striking markings and his well known white feather display on his o/s flank.

Very well shown in hand and sired many foals before being cut for his ridden career. We have had him for just over 3 years and really don't want to sell him but my daughter has changed jobs and the hours and days have made it impossible to ride and show any ponies. This is so sad as he is at his best now. Advertised him before, took him off because so many of the wrong people ringing, he is loved and will only go to the right home.

You can take him into the buziest rings and he never get hot or edgy, pouring rain, heavy mud.

Never strong, ridden on light contact, Big softy , easy to do , totally home produced , perfect confirmation, has a glass like coat in the summer and very little in winter.

Lives in and out happily, good with others, farrier, travel.

Can be found easily on the internet.

1st Devon County 2024

2nd in couple of RI qualifiers

Should easily go out pick up his tickets if you want to show but he loves a varied life.

Stardust is so loved he will not be sold to anyone, he deserves the best of homes. He is priced to sell not put up for a silly figure. His Black country saddle available at extra cost.

Location Somerset, 3 miles from junction 23 of M5

Ring and ask anything but don't want text warriors and I will not hold conversation on text messages, have some respect.

Beautiful Dapple Grey RID mare with a full Class 1 pedigree. "Darla" is ready to go for grading this summer. She has a kind, trainable temperament, and is a lovely horse to work with. I'm 5' 3" and do everything with her on my own. Howling wind, tractors in the yard, she's not bothered. Good to mount, bath, clip and shoe.

Darla has 3 comfortable, balanced paces and doesn't ride "big" at all. Does everything in a snaffle. Happily jumping small courses with scope to improve. She has hacked, hunted, showjumped and done fun rides in Ireland.

She's still learning to hack out alone as our current yard is on a busy road, but is good in traffic.

A special mare, that rare sort who is sensible enough for a novice, but quality enough to be enjoyed by a more experienced rider.

Womble
16.2hh
Cob
Massive weight carrier
Kind, Calm, Loving Chap

Womble is an impressive 16.2hh weight carrying cob, with a loving temperament and calm disposition. He is easy to handle on the ground and under saddle and is always well mannered.

Womble was purchased at 3 years old, turned out to mature, then professional broken at 3 years 10 months he was then introduced to the riding school setting where he was ridden by staff and competent clientele, he was a quick learner and settled into this very busy environment without any problems, he participated in our group and private lessons, working on the flat, over poles and progressed quickly onto lateral work, small coloured and rustic fences, although still relatively green in the school, he was eager to learn, though new to poles and certain ridden exercises, he approaches each new task with a genuine willingness and calm disposition. He is not spooky, spiny, sharp, strong or reactive—just still developing his understanding. As a blank canvas, he offers the perfect opportunity for an independent rider to guide his progress and help shape his education. With time and consistency, he shows promise in working in a soft outline, he is developing good balance, lateral movement, and responsiveness to aids. He also continued to improve over small fence and log with quiet enthusiasm.

Womble hacks out confidently alone or in company and is entirely unfazed by the most challenging environments. He remains calm when faced with heavy traffic, including buses, tractors, lorries, and large agricultural machinery. He will wait patiently at roundabouts or traffic lights and never reacts with fear or tension. On open ground, he stays composed at all paces, whether leading, following, or riding solo. He never pulls, rushes, or attempts to overtake—even when returning home.

His exceptional manners extend to every aspect of handling. Womble is easy to catch, groom, bath, load, clip, and handle for the vet, dentist, and farrier. He currently lives barefoot but has previously been shod and is comfortable with either. He stands quietly for long periods without any restraint, happily enjoying being groomed and pampered. Children regularly lead and handle him without issue, and he will calmly stand at the mounting block until the rider is comfortably in the saddle.

More recently, he has begun to show a dislike for arena work. I believe this is largely due to the amount of schooling he has been asked to do, with very little variety. As a result, he has become a little stale and reluctant to go forward in the arena, unfortunately we have limited hacking facilities, so arena work is prominently where we ride, as we don’t have access to bridleways—only grass verges alongside roads or extremely busy roads. Initially we felt that focusing on arena schooling would be the best approach however in hindsight a variation would have been more beneficial.

Womble absolutely thrives when hacking out and continues to perform exceptionally well, even in heavy, fast-moving traffic. He takes busy and challenging road environments in his stride and continues to excel in these situations. I feel he would really benefit from a break from arena work. However, as we are a riding school, arena work is our 1st point of call.
Unfortunately Womble is not earning his keep, hence the reduced price.

Womble is a genuine confidence-giver who can be left unridden for weeks or even months and still be safe and consistent when brought back into work. He is incredibly low maintenance. He has never suffered from laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or lameness, and has passed all annual riding school inspections with flying colours (equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting).

He currently lives out at night in a large mixed herd and stabled during the day but is equally content stabled or turned out full time, he is happy to be stabled / turned out solo, he is not clingy at all, he absolutely loves people and attention and adores a cuddle. He is quiet, independent, and never causes trouble in the field or stable. Being sold on behalf of a working livery.

Freda is a rising 4 years old (DOB 06.05.22) maxi cob. Homebred foal from my Irish Draught mare, by a HW show cob stallion, Moon River (Connemara (Lecarrow King) x show winning maxi cob mare). Freda has been well-handled since a foal, and is growing into a lovely, substantial mare who is light on her feet.

She was lunged, long-reined and backed in the Autumn 2025 (video is day 3 of riding). She took everything in her stride and was hacking around the farm without company on day 5 of riding. With everything in place for this year, we turned her away to grow.

We brought her back into work, three weeks ago. She now has a strong foundation for her future and is confidently long-reining around the farm without company, including through the farmyard past farm machinery and lorries, stepping through puddles etc.

Quality heavyweight hunter or maxi cob in the making, ready to begin her work under saddle.

Jessie - 16.1, 6 year old Irish mare.
A substantial mare, real old fashioned Irish hunter type. No breeding recorded but definitely heavy horse x something lighter.
Before coming over Jessie has mainly spent her time hacking/hunting/fun rides/Xc schooling/hunter trials.
Since being with us we’ve been working on her schooling and having lots of fun with her XC and hacking.
Hacks alone and in company and has been good in the traffic we’ve met and with the farm machinery around the place. She is bold and brave to a fence and will jump anything put in front of her, she’s a real operator and very capable.
Schooling is coming along well and she tries very hard to understand what’s being asked of her. She is green on the flat but would school up lovely in time, she has a lovely canter and is surprisingly balanced for a horse of her age/size. We’ve popped her over a few poles in the school here and she is very honest, she’d definitely go off and do some SJ with some more training. We haven’t done lots of this as our school is tiny for a horse of her size and we’ve concentrated more on getting some basics in place on the flat. Jessie is a lot of fun and has a lot to offer the right rider. Ideal type for hunting/hacking/hunter trials/fun rides/fun allrounder.
She is a big horse with an ‘engine’, wants to get on with the job type but not stupid or sharp. Just wouldn’t be for a nervous/novice rider. She’s absolutely not naughty or nasty but she is a game mare that wants equally game rider to go and have a blast and a rider with a bit of feel. You don’t need to be a pro but relatively experienced home preferred, ridden here regularly by a 15 year old girl who has the most amount of fun on her. Has had a week off here and then hopped up on no issues at all so she doesn’t need riding every day.
Really nice to have around, she absolutely loves a fuss and a groom, she fell asleep in the x ties when she was having a pamper for her pics to be taken!
Good to catch/load/shoe/bath/clip (inc leg trimming with big clippers). Used to my dog in the stable and doing zoomies across her hay pile in the field while she’s eating!

“To hog or not to hog”………that is the question for your new horse………

Dun gelding with black points and a smart, even white blaze.
Currently standing at 161cm on the stick.

Would make a cracking Maxi if hogged

Maxi Cob/ Working Show Horse/ Working Cob

Leaving hair on so new owner can decide hog of not to hog…..

Unregistered breeding, quality type with straight, correct movement.

Brian is a well-handled young horse with a kind, genuine attitude. He is:
• Good to handle
• Well behaved in the stable
• Sociable and easy in the field (turned out with other geldings)
• Used to being stabled at night

He is:
• Fully vaccinated
• Regularly wormed
• Feet trimmed routinely
• Bridled and bitted
• Started lunging
• De-sensitising work well started

Moves straight and correct with a loose, natural jump and a willing attitude.

No vices, no blemishes.

He has travelled in two different types of lorries without issue.

Brian was vetted on purchase last year with no advisories, and I am confident he would pass a young horse vetting again.

Brian is ready for someone to put their own stamp on and bring on. With his type, movement, and colour, he has all the attributes to make a very smart 4-year-old next year.

Very sad sale due to my own injury and ongoing surgeries, meaning I won’t be able to do him justice this year, so he is being offered now to find the right, long-term home.

Transport can be arranged within the UK & international transport is also possible via Greenvale Transport.

Offers in region of low 5’s but open to reasonable offers for a genuine sale open to vetting

This “type” does not come unspoilt this good

Queenie is a stunning 16.1hh, 7-year-old Shire × Irish Sport Horse mare, with a lovely middleweight stamp. She is a forward-going but safe ride, giving her rider confidence and enjoyment in everything she does.

She loves to hunt, jumping or non hunting , happily hacks for hours either alone or in company, and is sensible and mannerly on the roads.

Queenie also enjoys popping a jump and moves well, with the potential to produce a very nice dressage test with a bit more flatwork.

Oreo, a striking 5-year-old cob gelding standing at 16hh. Oreo is a truly eye-catching horse with beautiful, balanced conformation and an exceptionally pretty presence. His gorgeous white tail gives him a unique look that turns heads everywhere he goes — he’s one of those horses that always gets noticed for his good looks and charm. With his smart markings and lovely build, Oreo is the perfect example of a well-put-together cob, combining strength, balance, and quality in one impressive package.

Oreo has a wonderful temperament and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He is kind, good-natured, and always willing to please, making him an ideal partner for riders of different levels. Here, he is regularly ridden by novice students and takes everything in his stride, showing patience and a sensible outlook that makes him very easy to trust. He works in a snaffle, is light in the hand, and goes sweetly off the leg, giving his rider a comfortable and confidence-building ride every time.

He’s lovely to hack, whether alone or in company, and is excellent in traffic. He’s well used to all kinds of farm machinery and country life, making him a brilliant choice for someone who enjoys relaxed rides through lanes, fields, or open countryside. Oreo is also a lovely, straightforward horse to take hunting — he’s sensible in open spaces, polite in a group, and enjoys getting on with the job.

Oreo has been schooled on the flat, over show jumps, and across cross-country fences. He’s honest and brave to a fence, has a good natural rhythm, and is already confidently jumps up to 90cm here. With his three balanced, comfortable paces and his enthusiastic, can-do attitude, he shows great potential for any all-round job. He’s the type of cob who will happily turn his hoof to a bit of everything — from hacking and hunting to riding club and fun days out.

He is easy to handle in every way — good to shoe, box, catch, ride, and in traffic. Oreo has no stable vices and is open to any vetting. His calm and adaptable temperament means he would suit a wide variety of homes: he would make a fantastic mother–daughter share, a brilliant addition to a riding school, or a trustworthy and fun happy hacker for someone wanting an easy, enjoyable companion.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely happy with him.

15hh 5yo Cob Gelding – Project for Experienced Home

  • Handsome 15hh, 5-year-old cob gelding
  • Dapple grey, a real eye-catching type
Handsome 15hh, 5-year-old cob gelding. Dapple grey, a real eye-catching type with lots of potential in the right hands.

He is backed and riding away, but still green and requires further education. In the school he can nap towards the gate if allowed, but improves with a consistent and confident rider. Out hacking he can be spooky due to lack of mileage and takes reassurance from his rider. He has previously hacked out sensibly and will benefit from someone confident to continue his education.

On the ground he will need a knowledgeable and experienced handler. He has recently been diagnosed with mild, early-stage CPL and mallenders, which are currently being managed with creams, washing, and regular clipping (legs clipped under sedation). He can be sensitive behind and has been known to kick out when handling his hind legs, so requires calm, confident handling. This is reflected in his price, as in the right hands he has the potential to make a lovely ridden horse. I am happy to disclose his full medical history.

He is currently based on a busy livery yard and is well handled day-to-day. He is in a herd of geldings and has previously been turned out in mixed herd.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved horse, but he is not the right match for me. He would suit an experienced home looking for a rewarding project.

Serious enquiries and experienced homes only. I have lots of photos and videos on request.

Based in Hertfordshire.?Priced at £3,000 including tack and rugs (open to sensible offers)
