Blackjack - The Yard Favourite

£6,000 OVNO
  • Cob
  • Black
  • Gelding
  • 9 years
  • 14.2 hands
  • Superb nature
  • Easy in all ways
  • Experienced CV

Meet our yard reliable ‘Jack’ - a stunning 14.2HH, 9yo, cob gelding
Jack has no lumps nor bumps , blemishes nor vices. A true to type , good stamp , plenty of feather and a super sort.

Jack is as kind and affectionate as you could wish for in and out of the stable. Extremely easy to do and loves a fuss. Enjoys being bathed, groomed , and pampered. Lives in or out, perfect to load and travel, and great to catch! Does require sedation for clipping

Jack works well in the school and is obedient up and down the transitions in all three paces. Recently been professionally schooled so has had a great education. Will willingly pop coloured fences although I must say his talent does not lie in this sphere!! As honest and brave as you like but lacking his inner show jumper! That said. He’s great over logs etc out hacking / funrides. So brave and never says no! Currently ridden by my novice apprentice yard girl and proving to be quite push button for her and extremely patient and kind

Jack hacks alone or in company and is a true ‘no questions asked’ type. He goes out in the heaviest of traffic with us and doesn’t bat an eyelid! Stands perfectly at the mounting block , mannerly but fun in open spaces , lead the breakers out, or slot in down the line type

With his current owner Jack has been on numerous fun and beach rides (which he absolutely loves!!). As well as many ‘one handed neck rein TREC’s’, cross country schooling etc! He’s had a go at most things!

Also had great natural horsemanship training and is supper mannerly and obedient as a result

While being absolutely foot perfect with us , his owner has placed him in sales livery with me as she just feels sometimes he can get a touch ‘giddy’. I believe this has been on very few occasions where he has got a touch excited. No bucking , rearing etc! We haven’t seen this from him while being with us but due to this we are not wanting to sell to a novice. He would suit someone who wants something very straight and sensible but also wants to have a bit of fun and not a kick along!

He’s a super chap, we absolutely love having him with us and I just know , someone is going to be absolutely landed with him!

Vaccinated to date
Open to any vet or inspection
Comes with all of his tack
Delivery available

SOLD!
  • Cob

  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 14 hands
  • Wonderful temperament
  • steady but willing ride
  • quality enough to show

The sweetest and most genuine cob you could wish for! To make someone very happy, a super family cob, happy hacker, would possibly suit riding school. Carrot is a super chap, as wide as he is tall and like riding a comfy small armchair. He loves his hacking alone and in company, hasn’t been at all bothered by any traffic met with us and is very sensible.

He’s not the fastest but not overly bothered if out in company and he gets left behind by his sportier friends! Carrot is working sweetly in the school in all paces and will trot over a little jump, he’s very keen to please, he is still green but obedient to the aids and learning about outlines; he’s naturally very together on the flat , he’s a lovely mover and will with further schooling do a lovely dressage test.

He’s a super model of a traditional cob who moves really well and would do well in show ring (TGCA would be ideal for him) He’s still on the greener side of things but a very simple ride and always tries to please, his brain is wonderful to work with. He has been ridden by a variety of riders with us from confident novice upwards, everyone loves him! He has the most lovely can do attitude and just gets on with whatever you ask of him. With a bit more schooling he will do a very neat dressage test. Whatever he ends up doing he will give a lot of fun.

Carrots lovely temperament continues in and out the stable, he’s excellent to catch, box, clip, bath, feet trim ( barefoot v good feet) and just wants to be your friend.

Everyone who has met him falls in love with him. He doesn’t drive yet but would look wonderful in harness and has the right brain to do this job safely.

He has a lot to offer his new owners and we look forward to seeing him make someone really happy.
