Genuine and Kind 14.1hh Gypsy Vanner Cob, 18 Years Old

A gorgeous, kind-natured cob who has been a pleasure to own. Excellent to hack alone or in company and loves fun rides, with a confident, bold jump.

Good to box and shoe. Not currently clipped, but has been hogged and clipped in the past with no issues.

He has a very gentle temperament – my 10-year-old daughter, with no prior riding experience, has ridden him. He prefers hacking and fun rides to schooling, as he can get bored in the arena.

Ridden in a rubber bit; can occasionally be strong, but always remains responsive and sensible.

He has mainly lived in a mixed herd and is happy living out 24/7.

This is a very sad sale of a lovely, genuine boy who deserves more time and attention than I can give him. A kind, caring home is an absolute priority.
