15.1hh TRADITIONAL SHOW COB


Ref #: 403822
  • Amateur Home-Produced Substantial Cob
  • Qualified For Royal International 2024 + 2025
  • Reserve Supreme Novice At CHAPS Championships
£14,000
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 11 years
  • 15.1 hands
  • Amateur Home-Produced Substantial Cob
  • Qualified For Royal International 2024 + 2025
  • Reserve Supreme Novice At CHAPS Championships
Very sad sale of ‘Ted’ after a fantastic six years together due to my up and coming youngsters coming out under saddle - I sadly do not have time for them all and do not have the capacity to show two coloureds in the same section

It took me two years to source a traditional of this size, substance and colour, eventually finding him in Ireland as a raw 5 year old. Traditionals of his size and quality are very few and far between.

Ted is very low mileage being backed and broken in at 5, then spent a couple of quiet years hacking due to covid restrictions. He has then had four show seasons, two novice years which concluded on winning the novice final at CHAPS championships then standing reserve supreme novice. The past two seasons he has competed at county level, qualifying for the Royal International Horse Show both in 2024 (where he finished 5th) and in 2025

Ted is home produced by myself (an amateur), and enjoys hacking, plus work in the menage, clinics etc. He is good with tractors, cyclists and other vehicles whilst hacking on the road. He does not need tonnes of work, during the show season he gets worked on average 3 times per week, and he does not take hours of warming up at shows

Ted is a lovely forward ride, he is not a plod, he really covers the ground and enjoys a big show ring. He has taken me to Hickstead and around several evening performances at championship shows. On his two appearances at RIHS, we didn’t even go for a school round the night before our class, he just relaxed in his stable and we went down to the ring just before our class the next day

He enjoys living out in summer on good grass and I show him from the field. He is stabled overnight in winter and is happy to have duvet days during bad weather. He has no stable vices, he does not kick the door, crib, weave etc. He is a substantial cob with masses of mane, tail and feather which I have taken great care of to keep the hair in excellent condition for showing.

He is fully up to date with farrier, vaccinations and the dentist. He is CHAPS, BSPA and TGCA registered.

Ted would suit a competent, firm but kind rider and handler - perhaps another competitive amateur like myself with experience of riding and handling big cobs or natives.

He is available with his made to measure Fiona Cork show saddle and show bridle. No novices, happy hackers, nervous or timewasters please.

Stunning dun cob gelding!

Dun. Irish cob . Gelding . 8yo. 16.2hh

Buddy has got one of the nicest temperaments you will ever find in a horse. He loves having fuss and attention and will stand to be groomed and pampered for hours.

He is a great allrounder. He schools lovely on the flat and has three balanced paces.
He definitely one to make it to hoys or county level. He is a great versatile cob he also has a lovely jump and has proven to be very willing and honest to a fence.

He is good to hack alone or in company. Not phased by farm machinery or the heaviest of traffic. In my opinion I truly believe you would be a life time trying to find his double.

This gelding is top quality and one that will go far! I believe he would be a great hoys contender for a maxi cob or show hunter.

He is good to load and travel.
