Gardenhill Pat - 2014 Traditional Cob Gelding

Hamish is a 2014 traditional cob with so much to offer. He is pleasingly forward, quick to learn and enjoys a job. He is good to hack and he loads and travels well. Good for farrier, vet, etc. He is currently barefoot.

Hamish definitely shows a flare for dressage and would enjoy a home where he can show his flying feathers off! He is a good prospect for a competitive riding club or a British Dressage home, and I'm sure he'd do well at Associated Championships.

He has been lightly shown, and proved popular with judges, remaining polite and well behaved in large classes.

Hamish is not a dope on a rope - he is a smart cob with a brain, and consequently would better suit a competent rider that wants to go and do things with him. He is a sweet boy in the stable, and he enjoys a good groom and a massage.

Prior to coming to us, Hamish had been in the same home for eight years and enjoyed a variety of riding club events. Sadly, for sale only because my daughter has lost interest.

Some tack and rugs available by separate negotiation.

Adult rider, 5’7”. I’ve shown my current loan pony all season including Equifest.

I only learned to ride as an adult, so safe, sensible and confidence-giving is the priority.

Mare or gelding, with enough substance to take up my leg. Traditional cobs particularly welcome, but open to other suitable types.

Must be good to hack, handle and take out.

Nothing green or needing producing, and no sharp/strong types, bucking, rearing or bolting.

Would love something I can continue showing and possibly do some low-level jumping/Workers with.

We have our own place, so a loving, knowledgeable 5-star home awaits, where the right horse will be very well cared for and have a home for life. ❤️

HORSES WANTED – LOVING HOMES FOUND

Thinking of selling your horse but dreading the process?

The endless phone calls, time-wasters, missed viewings, strangers coming to the yard, costly sales livery and sometimes still no sale at the end of it.

We offer a different way.

We buy horses directly, offering a quick, straightforward and hassle-free sale, with prompt collection and fair trade prices.

But most importantly, we care about where every horse ends up.

Horses that come to us aren’t simply stood in a sales yard waiting for their next owner. Their time with us is spent enjoying life — happy hacking, trips to the beach, hunting and generally being horses.

We take the time to get to know each one, understand what they enjoy and work out what sort of job and home will suit them best. Then we find them their person — the right human and the right home for their next chapter.

Previous owners are welcome to stay in touch and follow their horse’s journey with their new family. We understand how important it is to know that a much-loved horse has landed on their feet.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

15.2hh plus

4–15 years old

Geldings only

Chunkier types particularly wanted — the chunkier the better

Genuine riding horses looking for their next job

Vices and quirks are not necessarily deal-breakers, but they must be honestly declared. We would always rather have an open conversation about a horse and decide whether they are right for us.

Fair trade prices offered with prompt collection available.

Please understand that although we are happy to consider horses with quirks, we are not a dumping ground or a way to simply get rid of bad stock. Honesty is essential. We are looking for genuine horses that deserve the opportunity to find the job and person that suit them.

A simple, stress-free sale for you, a happy time with us, and the right home at the end of it.

Please get in touch with an honest description, photos and videos of your horse. Prices must be realistic please.

A truly stunning 15.2hh | 7-year-old lemon & white cob mare who turns heads everywhere she goes. If you’re looking for something with real presence and that all-important wow factor, Miley Cyrus is exactly that.
