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.

Wanted genuine, safe horse for 10*, knowledgeable, forever home

  • 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland
  • Mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus

I am looking for a genuine horse to offer a 10* forever home on a beautiful private gated estate in Central Scotland, with excellent stabling, grazing, and endless hacking. This horse will join my much-loved horse of 20 years, along with my hunter who has sadly been prematurely medically retired, so a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced home is guaranteed.

References can happily be provided.

I am ideally looking for a mare or gelding aged between 5 and 12 years, 15.2hh plus, and no greys, cobs, or arabs please. I have extensive hacking, so must be good in traffic, non-spooky and no nappers, buckers, rearers please. I like really forward going horses, so something that is forward thinking and well-schooled would be ideal

Temperament is very important, so the horse must be kind and easy to handle on the ground and good to clip, shoe, catch, and load. I am looking for a horse with a nice attitude and willing nature, that is straightforward to work with and enjoys its job. I do not jump, so it does not matter whether the horse jumps or not.

I have previously competed in RIHS and HOYS qualifiers and so would like something smart and mannerly that will go in a nice outline. I do not mind a horse that has been retired from the show ring and looking for a quieter life or a change of direction. Happy for superficial blemishes but no health conditions/previous injuries please.

Any potential horse will need to pass a vetting and must have no stable vices - no cribbers/windsuckers please!

Based in central Scotland so sensible distances please but willing to travel for the right horse.

Please email in the first instance with full details and photos would be a plus.

As I do not sell on, no silly prices please.

No matter what she has been asked to do for me so far, she has never said no.

Summer Project

Balinmore Sea Rebel.

Summer Project, sold from the field. He will need to be brought back into work. Please only get in touch if you are able to bring him back into work and not rush him he won’t go unless I’m sure he’ll be in good hands.

Heartbreaking sale as owned from a foal he is only for sale due to change in personal circumstances (can be discussed) and not having a jockey for him.

Bruno is 15hh Dapple grey ID gelding rising 6 years old.

Was professionally backed as a four year old, turned away over winter and went to a few shows last season.

He has been out of work now for six months due to not having a rider for him. So he is sold out of the field as a project. He is not ready to jump on and go. He will need long reining and lunging to build his muscle again. He is a young horse who needs restarting.

He is fantastic to load been up and down the country in a 3.5 and 7.5 box, stands on it all day at a show, we’ve never had him in a trailer but don’t see he’d have any issue. He travels well, good with farrier (doesn’t have shoes as he has fantastic feet), comes to call, is a big Labrador in the stable, he love attention, lives in or out alone, in a pair or herd.

Never been lame, no lumps, bumps or scars.

He is a sensitive horse, he gets his confidence from his rider, in that sense he isn’t a novice ride.

Under saddle he is forward going and will eyeball something if he hasn’t seen it before, he doesn’t have much mileage, and needs someone confident, would suit a competent teen or small adult to have fun on, he’s been to clinics, shows, gallops, indoor and outdoor arenas etc.

Hacks out alone or in company. Good on the road but will look at things. So I don’t want to say he’s bombproof.

This is a heartbreaking sale and he is being sold from the field as a project, hence the price which does not reflect his quality or future prospects. He is by the same sire as the hoys WHP champion 2025. Sale will include his bridle and rugs. Photos from last showing season. He is turned away now so not as polished or furnished.

  • 6 years

  • Triple graded stallion and pssm1 negative
  • professionally backed
  • Top class and will go all way in the right hands
Graded with CHAPS / TGCA / BSPA

A very top-class young cob with a huge future ahead of him in the right hands. Cody is broken to ride and established in three balanced paces. He is still green in the school due to lack of time, but has been produced slowly and correctly without being overfaced.

He is easy to ride and has a laid-back attitude — he doesn’t need riding every day and will happily pick up where he left off after time off. Cody is a pleasure to hack, both alone and in company, and genuinely enjoys getting out and about.

He has attended shows with great success and has had a very strong in-hand career, including:
• 1st & Champion at Royal Welsh Smallholding Show
• BSPA Champion Amateur
• Reserve Supreme

He has also attended pole clinics and taken everything in his stride — good for the farrier, catching, travelling, clipping — and stands on the box at shows.

Recently had a winter break and is now JUST coming back into work.

Cody has a fantastic attitude and thrives on having a job to do. He would suit someone who can give him time and continue producing him to his full potential. While he is very well-mannered, he is still a stallion, so requires a kind but confident and experienced handler — not suitable for novices.

He has never covered any mares to date and is PSSM1 clear.

A very sad sale as he has been owned since 6 months old, with full history known.

Meet Robby – The Ultimate Schoolmaster & Confidence Giver

Robby is a lovely 17-year-young, 16.2hh Maxi Cob gelding looking for a kind and knowledgeable home where he can enjoy happy hacking, hunting and fun days out.

A genuine schoolmaster and nanny horse, Robby has taught countless riders over the years. He is a real confidence giver and an easy, enjoyable ride. Anyone can hack him out and he has safely introduced many people to riding and hunting. He loves beach rides, pub rides, and a day out with the hounds, and has given many riders their first enjoyable days hunting.

He does require a little management once a year to keep him comfortable. X-rays have shown slight navicular changes in his near fore. His coffin joint has been injected and he wears pads in front. He is currently sound, happy and still enjoying his job, with no reason he couldn’t do a few more seasons.

Please note: Robby will not pass a full vetting, so please don’t enquire if this is essential. However, he passes the veterinary inspection every year for my riding school licence and continues to work happily.

Important:
• No time wasters
• No loans or payment plans
• Not for someone wanting to jump grassroots
• No one wanting to bring trainers – he is not going to a schooling home

Normal, genuine homes only please.

Transport can be arranged and part exchange may be considered. Priced realistically for a quick, straightforward sale, but he will not be given away.

Reason for sale: The hirelings weren’t busy enough this season so I’m rethinking my career and moving some of my older horses on to loving, knowledgeable homes.

16.3hh, 7yo, maxi cob mare (Non-Marish). A genuine, quality sort that is hard to find, She has the presence and jump to stand out anywhere.

Under saddle she’s snaffle mouthed and done a little of everything. She is a forward going type and loves to jump (never gets strong or silly). Very brave and scopey over a fence and never says no.

Nicely Schooled and a very good mover will do well in the ring or equally would suit competent amateur who wants a competitive allrounder. She has been to multiple shows including stay away shows at Arena UK where she was a firm crowd favourite producing clears in the BN classes.

She’s good to hack alone and in company in the heaviest of traffic and is brilliant in open spaces.

No vices but not suitable for nervous riders as still only young and sensitive although she is very well behaved and very pleasant to deal with in all ways. Is sedated to clip.

There is not enough words to do this horse justice she is adored by everyone that meets her and deserves to find her forever home.

Will only be sold to a suitable 5* home. Please message for further information, photos and videos.
