Very Special 155cm 7-Year-Old Lightweight Cob

A truly exceptional mare who ticks all the boxes and then some. At just 7 years old, she is beautifully schooled, balanced, and a pleasure to ride in every way.

She loves her work, whether it’s hacking out, tackling cross country, or shining in the ring. Always one to catch the judge’s eye, she consistently finds herself at the top of the line 

A kind, genuine soul, she absolutely thrives on attention and is easy in every aspect of handling. No vices, no fuss, just a straightforward, willing partner who gives her all.

This is a very sad sale of a much-loved mare. She is the kind that doesn’t come along often… we truly believe she has the quality and presence for HOYS, yet the temperament to be someone’s forever horse and best friend

A rare blend of talent, heart, and kindness — she will make someone incredibly happy.

  • A horse with multiple jobs, will excel at every discipline
  • Quality and correct enough to win lightweight hunter/working hunting classes
  • Super jumping technique, flashy careful and incredibly easy! And genuine attitude

Perfect by name, and nature! A pure rocking horse that is generally impossible to find now days, if we could have 10 of him we would!

Not enough nice things to say about this smashing horse “Oreo” recently imported from Ireland, and one I think we will regret selling in years to come.

A real traditional weight carrying leg at each corner type, good square front good length of neck.

Taken more of the draught side of his breeding (Full ISH) but has the quality and technique of a warm blood but with the laid back easy genuine attitude every one wants!

Succesfully cross country schooled jumping absolutely everything he come across up top some meaty novice level BE fences, water complexes ditches skinny’s hedges he jumped everything with his eyes shut and handled some difficult wet ground so well for a young horse.

An absolute gentleman to take out on the lorry, happily travels in a trailer and bigger lorry also. Works beautifully on the flat, 3 very expressive paces and has established flying changes!

Never strong and always goes in a simple snaffle bit and bradle no gadgets needed, doesn’t ride like a big horse and always so polite, waits for his riders instruction. Incredibly talented over a coloured pole, he has showjumping breeding so equally excels in this sphere super careful and athletic with huge amounts of scope.

Easily jumping up to 1m25 at training shows, never spooky with fillers and always looking for the next fence. He will certainly excel into any sphere, ready to jump newcomers affiliated level or young horse classes, equally wouldn’t look out of place in upcoming lightweight workers or working hunter RIHS qualifiers. He’d event, hunt, team chase all with a smile on his face.

A gentleman to handle, loves a fuss! Good vet check, fit shod clipped ready to go.

Strictly no time wasters

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.

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home


Ref #: 403610
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus
  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.
