Washington 15.1hh 5yo Irish Cob

If Carlsberg made cobs, they would definitely of made Washington! He really is Mr Perfect.

A far cry from your average 5yo, Washington is extra special, already riding far more advanced than his age may suggest, one in a million and a superstar through and through.

He would be an asset to any riding school, equestrian facility or college as he offers the full package. Carries a novice rider comfortably, but also has the unique ability to step up when required, working balanced and collectly, he will happily pop around tracks of showjumps and XC fences around 80/90cm with style, but again will safely plod over small fences with a less experienced rider. Currently being enjoyed by novice 15 year old girl and also been ridden by tiny 11 year old boy.

Has a season’s hunting under his belt and will be a prolific, reliable mount for the coming season. He would also excel in the show ring and could be a future HOYS star. He rides in a soft round shape, with beautiful paces and great balance. He is a true PC / RC allrounder.

Excellent to hack both alone and in company, all traffic and open spaces

No vices or blemishes

Irish draught x cob

By class 1 stallion

Super handsome, straight and correct with good amount of bone.

Wolf teeth removed

Good to catch, bath, hog / trim, good for the vet and farrier.

Loads and travels fine not done huge amount. (not been in a trailer just 3.5t and lorry)

He was broken professionally and hunted once with the breaking yard before coming back to me. I rode him a few times out on the lanes but struggled to find the time with young family so thought best to turn away for the winter.

He then due to no fault of his own had a year off. Recently went away to a professional yard and was hacked out in company and went around the school.

He's very low mileage and very green for his age. He can be sticky to get out alone, but not nasty. He is spooky as he's not seen much at all but I think he's getting better.

He loved going hunting and I think this is his Job he just wants to go and some fun, Hunting / fun rides etc.

He is currently out of work, but all trimmed up and in good health ready to start back up again.

Just needs his chance in life, good routine and someone to bond with who will educate him further.

Hassle free sale wanted, no facilities here. lots of pictures and videos of him.

honest advert nothing nasty hidden about him just can't afford to send him away and put more money in him when I won't have the time to continue with him at home so must be sold.

Experienced riders only someone who can manage baby/nappy moments, takes confidence and direction from his rider.

He owes £7,500 but I just want him in a good home where he will have a job. Currently wasted. sold out of work.

Please feel free to contact me. Text or call please leave a message if I don't answer I will call back when convenient.

  • Full of potential

Benny Bob is a super stamp of a cob with a bright future ahead of him! This lovely 3 year old, standing at 15hh, is everything you’d want in a young horse kind, willing, and full of potential.

He is slightly bum high so he has a little bit of growing left to do.

He takes everything in his stride and always tries his heart out. Benny is the type who genuinely wants to please and is never sharp or silly. A brilliant blank canvas for someone wanting to bring on a genuine, straight forward cob with loads to offer.

He absolutely loves a good hack, happy to ride out alone or in company. He’s seen light traffic with no fuss, and the longer we have him, the more he’ll be doing including heavier traffic and a couple of fun rides allowing him to come along at his own happy pace.

Benny has fantastic manners in and out of the stable. He’s good to catch, shoe, load, and handle a real yard favourite and everyone’s best mate. Wormed and up to date, and ready to find his forever person.

We’ve no doubt Benny Bob would excel in the show ring with his presence, movement, and attitude. He moves straight and correct, with a lovely natural rhythm that will only improve with time and work. Whether you’re after a leisure cob, a future allrounder, or a smart show prospect, Benny is ready to be someone’s pride and joy.

A beautiful, traditional Irish Cob mare with substance and style – approx. 16.1hh and 6 years old. She’s been a reliable hireling this summer, taking everything in her stride from fun rides and beach hacks to cross-country schooling.

A lovely forward-thinking ride with a snaffle mouth, she enjoys her work and gives a confident, responsive feel under saddle. Still slightly green in the school, so would benefit from continued education if this is your focus – but she’s willing and learns quickly.

Brilliant to hack alone or in company, and completely unfazed by heavy traffic. A real sweetheart to handle with an excellent temperament – stands quietly for grooming, bathing, and general fuss.

Good with farrier, dentist, clipping & loading
No vices, lumps, bumps, or sarcoids

12 year old stallion , approx 16,1hh. CHAPS graded.

Gov is looking for a home as an allrounder/happy hacker or at a stud.

Gov has a lovely temperament. He has done a bit of everything, ridden & inhand showing, dressage (elementary level), pleasure rides and a little bit jumping for fun.

He absolutely loves to hack and will go alone or in company. He is great to shoe, bath, clip, catch, load etc. he has no vices. He is very affectionate and loves a cuddle. Can have a loving nibble every now and then but that’s as far as it goes.

We have mainly done ridden showing with him, Qualifying for HOYS in 2021 & 2023. However, he is now retired from showing and finds it boring. Gov would prefer to have fun, go on pleasure rides, hacking and beach rides.

He loves in-hand showing and although he has never covered with his temperament I think he would be an asset to a stud. He is PSSM1 negative.

He is a gentleman to ride and has been ridden by most of the family.

Gov deserves the best home and this of upmost importance.

Only for sale due to personal circumstances. 12 year old stallion , approx 16,1hh. CHAPS graded.

This beautiful cob gelding is a true 1 in a million of any cob you could possibly meet

He is going to be an absolute star in the showing world as he is as unique as he is  beautiful and he is a very good moving cob he moves 100% straight and is good and light on his feet and has very good hooves.

He has totally correct conformation

Admittedly he is a bit to fat at the moment due to me leaving him out too long in extremely good grass to babysit others  

He was measured today 30th june 25 and stands at 151 to 152 on his withers and he is 155 on his hind quarters and he is only a 4yr old so should easily grow more 

He is 4yr old and has been fully dna tested as i was going to keep him entire but i had him cut 12 months ago 

Murphy as he is very affectionly known has ben with me for 2.5years and was bought directly of the breeder he is the sweetest cob i have ever owned and ive had a few he loves people more than horses and you can do absolutely anything with him he has not ben backed as i dont ride but it will be a very very easy job to do with him 

He is completely clean limbed with no vices 

I would seriously love to see this boy in the show ring next year and not just being my farm pet please no timewasters as a very very good home is foremost

If he doesnt sell i will have him produced next year as he is undoubtedly a real top contender in the ring

Tom is an 8 year old bay roan gelding, owned since a 2 year old. Clydesdale x Irish cob. (Bred in Ireland)

He has done a bit of everything and is happy to give anything a go. He is a lovely hack, snaffle mouthed and barefoot currently.

Tom is a versatile chap and is a yard favourite.

Tom has been used as a lead horse so would be great if accompanying children out hacking.

Tom has done some hunting and hound excercise and is a true gent on the field.

Tom has been to local shows, fun rides and swam in the sea. Tom has done a little jumping but it's not really his thing.

Tom has done a couple of dressage tests and does school nicely.

Tom is not fussed if he is not ridden daily and can be left with no issues.

I am reluctantly putting Tom for sale as I have started my own business and I cannot give him the time he deserves.

Full wardrobe available by negotiation.

Located in Devon.

I am reluctantly selling my beautiful big girl through no fault of her own, my spine issues are only going to get worse and she is bored being a field ornament when she could be out doing things. She is currently sold from the field for this reason.

She did some long lining last summer, but gets bored very quickly going round in circles. She will school nicely, but doesn’t enjoy it.She loves to hack and is good in all the traffic we have seen. She will go by herself, but is happier with company.

She is a good doer, currently barefoot and as far as I know has never had shoes. She is good for the farrier, loads and travels well, turns out with mares and geldings and has never even considered biting or kicking. She is however a hefty girl and will given the chance use her size to be rude and obnoxious, so for this reason would not be suitable for a complete novice.

Once she knows where the lines are drawn she is very sweet, loves to be brushed and cuddled and will follow you everywhere.

She is happy to live in or out, honestly she is lovely. Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability as really want the best home for her.

Toby is a sensible sensible ride and is snaffle mouthed at all times, being light in the contact with good brakes! He moves exceptionally well with three correct paces. Plenty good enough for dressage!

We’ve taken Toby out show jumping and cross country and he doesn’t change away from home. He jumps anything asked of him . Not at all spooky at fillers and is very bold cross country! We are yet to find something to spook him ! He will happily take a miss and will sort her legs out to a jump, being careful at the same time!

He hacks out alone and in company and is not phased in even the heaviest of traffic!! Loads and travels well, he is good to catch.

He will make the ultimate first ridden , pony club pony, all rounder, hunting pony, show jumper or dressage pony. He really will excel in any discipline!
