Outstanding Chestnut Blagdon Cob Mare For Sale “Lady” AKA Lady in Red

Beautiful homebred 3-year-old mare standing approx 15hh and currently still rump high, so expected to mature bigger.

Lady is truly not your everyday cob. She has all the qualities to make a serious future prospect and has been bred to stand out.
This is an incredibly difficult decision as I originally bred Lady to keep for myself, however with the girls’ riding now taking priority, unfortunately I just don’t have the time she deserves.

TGCA red passport with breeding recorded
Sired by a stunning Hermit silver buckskin and white fully graded stallion
Homebred from my stunning Greateaves mare, who I still own
Full sister also retained
Well handled since birth
Good to catch, clip, trim & travel
Sweet, kind temperament
Quiet enough for the girls to fuss and handle
Has done plenty of groundwork and long reining
Very mannerly and eager to please

I bred Lady with the aim of producing outstanding traditional cobs, and I truly believe she has all the attributes to become a superstar in the future.

A very genuine young mare with a lovely temperament and plenty of presence. She will only be sold to the very best home.

  • Show cob
  • County level
  • Veteran

A rare opportunity to purchase a genuine top-class show cob with an exceptional record. Having won at both HOYS and the Royal International, he has competed and succeeded at the very highest level and still has plenty to offer his next owner.

He is a true gentleman with the most wonderful temperament. Kind, genuine, and easy to do in every way, he is regularly ridden by my 10-year-old niece and is a pleasure both on the ground and under saddle.

He loves his work, enjoys jumping, and has successfully competed in Working Show Horse classes alongside his impressive showing career. With his quality, presence, and proven track record, he would easily be competitive in Veteran classes and could continue to enjoy a successful career in the show ring.

He hacks happily in company but can be nervous when ridden out alone, so we are looking for a home that will suit his needs and allow him to thrive.

Good to clip, load, travel, and for the farrier. A straightforward horse to own and a much-loved member of the family.

This is a genuinely heartbreaking sale due to a change in career meaning he is no longer getting the time and attention he deserves. He is far too talented and special to be wasted in a field and deserves a home where he can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Irish Cob Gelding

Guinness has been XC schooling and SJ training, he shows great technique over a fence and has proven to be bold and straightforward, always showing a mature attitude to his work. He has plenty of ability for his type and is a really fun horse to ride!!

Guinness has good paces and works willingly on the flat. His education hasn’t been focused on flatwork however he has the potential to excel in this discipline, he has three rhythmical paces and is responsive to aids - he certainly has plenty of presence to catch the judges eye!

He has been on multiple beach and moorland rides, he enjoyed swimming in the sea! Guinness is regularly ridden alone and in company, has been used to lead young inexperienced horses on their first outings - he’s an impeccable hack for his age!

Guinness has done a couple of days hunting in Ireland towards the end of the most recent season.

Selling on behalf of a friend:
Clydesdale X Cob. 17.1hh, 5 years old with an Irish passport.

Clyde is a true gentle giant – do not be put off by his height or age. His current owner is 5ft 6 and 8 stone. For sale due no fault of his own – happy to discuss circumstances. Full history known.

Clyde has been a joy to hack for the last 14 months (alone and in company). In open fields he doesn’t hot up and is happy to canter at the back of a group; he is always well behaved. He has never bucked or reared and is superb in all traffic.

Will sweetly plod on a long rein, is voice responsive to halt, has a nicely forward trot and a relaxed and comfy canter. He has recently completed some professional schooling.

This fabulous boy is a real people horse, he’s fantastic to catch, loves being pampered, is good for the farrier, travels well and is just a joy to have around. In the field he loves everyone and gets along with mares and geldings alike.

He has successfully been treated for two sarcoid’s by the Equine Vet in Liverpool with positive results (documentation can be provided).

Clyde has very mild sweet itch which is managed really well with Biteback products and a fly rug. He comes with tack (professionally fitted Thoroughgood saddle and a bridle) and fly rug.

No expense has been spared on this lovely gentleman, an excellent home is of the upmost importance.

  • Safe hack / super PC Pony
A fun, forward-going Ride & Drive.

Dotty has been with us since March. She was purchased from a riding school after being a little too switched on for everyone there. We bought her because she drove, and we’ve had the best fun with her — from evening pub drives with the family to a driving holiday around Thetford Forest.

We’ve since discovered she also LOVES jumping.

She’s definitely more GO than WHOA, but she’s super safe with it.

She’s still green to ride, as she has mainly been driven, and she is very forward in her way of going because of it. However, the more she’s ridden, the better she becomes.

She would suit a super confident child or small adult who prefers a smaller horse.

We are just not using her enough to justify keeping her, so we are trying to find her a good home. She’s not really big enough for us to ride, and we already have two 17hh hunters.

She absolutely would hunt and is fearless cross-country. We’ve taken her on a hunt ride with around 30 others, where she was completely unfazed by the large group, big timber jumps, and hedges.

She is the easiest horse to have around and to do anything with. I’d keep her just as a pet if horses weren’t so expensive!

Harness and beautiful pleasure carriage are also available by separate negotiation. We can always put you in touch with someone to teach you if you have not driven before.

15.2hh Piebald Gelding | 8 Years | Outstanding Allrounder with Presence

CHAPS Passport

Numpty is a striking 15.2hh piebald gelding, 9 years old, with a huge personality and presence to match. A true “sports horse in a cob body” – forward-thinking, enthusiastic, and always keen to work. He is a real substantial traditional cob.

He is a versatile allrounder with experience across multiple disciplines including;

Hunting, where he has jumped hedges, rails, walls, ditches, traps etc. He has been hunted by other people. He even took a friend for her first ever days hunting. Often holding gates for the field to pass through. Will stand impeccably at meets and between lines.

Showjumping, arena hires, pole clinics, cross-country schooling, hunter trials, team chasing, dressage, endless funrides and showing. He is consistently placed in the ribbons. He has also stewarded at hunt scurries and will happily lead other horses. He doesn’t get fizzy or silly at any event, he will stand around quietly whether on the box, tied up or mounted.

An absolute pleasure to hack, super safe!! Forward going. Completely unfazed by traffic and excellent with gates. He will happily stand patiently while gates are opened and closed, whether mounted or dismounted. He will allow a rider to mount from anything.

He adapts well and can plod along quietly on the lead rein or take care of a novice rider, including unbalanced riders. He has been hacked out along a busy A road by a complete beginner! He does not react to other horses being stupid, he’s the type to stand and wait if another horse takes off, often takes the lead past scary objects! He doesn’t get silly in open spaces will happily walk through a field. Respectful of what you ask from him. He has been regularly ridden and competed by my competent now 11-year-old daughter, who also hacks him out alone.

He’s best suited to a confident, consistent rider/handler to get the best from him.

Forward-going in the school if you ask him to be with a willing attitude and three correct paces. With his eye-catching markings and presence, he would excel in the showing ring. Equally enjoys just being a happy hacker.


* Excellent to load and travel in a trailer; stands quietly for long periods
* Happy to stand tied to the box for hours or remain on board
* Good for the farrier
* Can live in or out; happy alone or in company
* Easy to keep—lives on fresh air
* Fit and ready to go
* Great to catch and lead
* Used to the hustle and bustle of a busy working farm

Bad points - he can’t be perfect with everything!

* Requires sedation for clipping - only hogged for hunt season
* Windsucks occasionally after hard feed/treats (not always and does go days even weeks without doing it) will typically do this in the air for a few seconds. Solution would be no hard feed/treats.
* Has a couple of very small sarcoids on his sheath, haven’t changed in the years I’ve owned him, could be treated but have never bothered me. You would never notice them unless pointed out.

A very difficult and genuine sale of a much-loved horse. Owned for nearly 3 years. Sadly, I have had to accept that he is just too quiet for me, and it is time for him to find someone who will fully enjoy and appreciate him.

A real head-turner who is always complimented wherever he goes!!

Absolutely no dealers or nervous/novices. Long term private home sought after!! A home where I could ideally keep in touch.

Open to any vet/inspection

Harley - 15hh, 4 year old Irish cob gelding. A beautiful, well put together cob with a lovely sensible attitude.

Harley is riding sweetly for his age. Hacks alone and in company and has been good in the traffic we’ve met on our busy road. Works away sweetly in the field and good in open spaces.

Done a little XC schooling and happily pops away over a variety of fences. No world beater but a really sweet little guy that wants to please.

Working in all 3 paces in the arena and would pop off and do a little dressage test in time, green as expected at 4 but has nice balanced paces for his age. Not a type that ‘needs’ a job or to be busy just a nice simple, low level allrounder.

Easy guy to have around on the yard and enjoys a groom and a fuss, not a bargy rude cob at all he’s a kind little horse that takes everything in his stride.

Irish Cob Gelding

Fun & Forward Turbo Cob!!

Bill has hunted with us with the EDH. He has attended multiple busy meets, always standing politely for a port and a pasty. He has been brilliant with the hounds and enjoys watching them work. He is mannerly in the field & has proven bold to various hunt fences. Always happy to wait his turn but up for the job at hand. He will ride away on point or turn away from the field at the end of the day with no fuss. He’s been hunted in a snaffle and is polite enough to ride at the back but equally he has no trouble keeping up at the front!

He has been SJ training and XC schooling on grass & arena. He has shown the potential to have a competitive low level summer job with the right education!

Bill has been educated in the importance of standing still at the pub!! He has attended multiple pleasure rides, remaining level headed throughout the day and unphased by his surroundings. He has been on multiple beach and moorland rides, loved swimming in the sea and has been used to lead young inexperienced horses on their first outings. Bill is regularly ridden alone and in company, used to accompany our children on their pony, ridden in heavy traffic and open spaces - he’s pretty unflappable for his age!

Bill’s education hasn’t been focused on flatwork, therefore he would be green in this discipline.

He is a gentleman to handle on the ground and we’ve found him a very easy person to have around - Bill is great fun to ride!! He wouldn’t suit a nervous rider, we have found no badness to him whatsoever but he deserves someone that loves having fun as much as he does!

His production & education with us will continue until sold.

14'3 very pretty Sec D mare, 5*home sought, amazing temperament on the ground and ridden. Brilliant to tack up, load, bath, clip, groom, a very special horse, we have owned Winnie for 8 years, so this is not an easy decision but daughter has outgrown.

She DOES NOT jump, never has, as formerly a pure dressage pony competing very successfully up to Novice Level with my daughter, but had change of career 3 years ago due to a strain during training, was fully rehabilitated and has been sound and ridden as a mother/daughter share without issue since, but for this reason we don't want a schooling home for her, she's done enough of that and is loving life as an active mare and loves funrides, hacks, beach rides, etc.

She prefers company out hacking, doesn't have to be another horse, someone walking, bike riding is fine. She's not naughty on her own, just occasionally plants her feet!

No novices as although she is very kind natured, she is a Sec D and a capable horse, would suit an experienced teen or small adult.

A good doer, so better on restricted grazing. Would suit someone who wants a lovely kind hack/funride/beach ride kind of horse.

Would consider trial period to right home, so ideally a home within reach of SY13 4RB. No Dealers.

Here he is! Stunning dun cob gelding! Dun. Irish cob . Gelding . 8yo. 16.2hh

Stable name - Buddy

-Kind nature
-Great temperament
-Becomes part of the family

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. Also recently been xc schooling which he has proven to be very brave and honest.

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.
Upto date to all vacs, teeth, back etc

Been to a local show this weekend ridden by an 18yo and he was foot perfect all day!

Not suitable for novices as he is a cob with a job!

Red is a stunning lad with a kind heart, but he is quite sensitive and needs an experienced person to bring out the best in him.
Red can be nappy when leaving the yard on his own, nothing nasty. This stops with regular work. Great to hack out with others, but can have the odd spook, so not for a novice rider, great in traffic.
I feel Red would thrive in a busy yard, as he doesn't like being left when I take my other horse out for a ride.
To be honest, I was sold on him as a happy hack, and he is not for a novice rider. He has a cosmetic little lump on his front leg, but this has never bothered him in the two years I have owned him, but won't make a show horse, Red has always been sound.
Red did take a little time to settle here at first, but when I got his trust, he was always the first to come out of the field to see me. Reds at the bottom of the pecking order in my herd, so this is the main reason I am going to sell him, as I feel sorry for him, as he always gets left when I rideout as he is too much for me. I am on the wrong side of forty to be falling off due to my riding skills, nothing to do with him. Any more questions, just ask. I will be honest, I only want what's best for Red, and that's not me :(
He hasn't really done anything over winter, just hacking out now and then, so needs to be brought back into work to build up his top line etc, but he will be a very good looking horse when fit and in full-time work. We have started bringing him back into work with lunging, long-reining and short hacks.
Red is brilliant to load in a 3.5t box and travels amazingly, great with the vet, farrier, clipping and when being groomed. Stands to be tacked up and mounted, he is a genuinely lovely boy but is just too much horse for me.
Red has hunted in the passed in Ireland
Comes with saddle and bridle and rugs cost over £2000

Professionally backed last summer, and was riding away in walk trot, canter & hacking out.

Patrick has had the winter off to grow and fill out and is now ready for someone to carry on his education.

He has been on a family yard around children & dogs ect, sweet nature, just green as you would expect.

Sold as seen, not currently in ridden work so is a complete blank canvas ready for you to put your own stamp on him.

Someone will be extremely lucky with this boy, he’s a beautiful stamp and you will struggle to find a big solid gelding like him again!

No time wasters or novices please.
