Stunning 14.1hh 9y year old Blagdon Cob gelding, very sad sale to a 5* home only.
Frank is a truly special pony, that has done a little bit of everything: DR, SJ, XC, ODE, RC, WHP, showing, hunted, sponsored rides, camps, driving trials.
This is an honest advert as we want to find him the best possible home. Price is negotiable in order to achieve this. My daughter is moving away and has the chance to go traveling for a year and Frank needs more work than I have time or ability to commit to.
He has achieved so much in his previous home where he was home produced and we fell in love with him from the word go. He is absolutely steady and reliable in the heaviest of traffic, he is a pleasure to handle, he will stand all day to be groomed and clipped and is perfect with the farrier.
He works very well in the school and comes into a lovely outline. In his previous home Jumped 90cm with ease. Competed 80cm also in 2018 achieved Reserve Champion showing; Qualified Royal London. He will do a lovely dressage test and proves that “cobs can”!
TGCA registered. Full history known. I am in touch with his breeder as well as his last owner.
I hack Frank on quiet and busy roads, through woodland and open spaces for hours and he is perfectly well behaved – the same alone or in company. I feel that Frank needs some work on his trot to canter transitions and needs a confident rider to develop him further. He has been known to throw in a buck on the transition. My daughter, as a more confident rider, has been working on this with him, but since she is moving away I do not feel I am able to continue this training to get the best out of Frank. I wish I had the ability to do this as in every other way he is such a star. He would be so well suited to someone wanting to do a bit of everything with him, or even a competition home, as he has been a true superstar in the show ring. He is a beautiful example of a traditional gypsy cob!
His previous owner brought him on and her only reason for selling him is that he just didn’t really grow big enough for her. She even broke him to drive and I’m sure that’s another reason he is so excellent on the roads.
As I say, he is a very special boy and I want to find him the perfect home that he deserves and sadly I feel this is not with me. Therefore, the price is far less important than the home, so this can be negotiated.
