Gardenhill Pat - 2014 Traditional Cob Gelding

  • Fully feathered with full mane and tail
  • Perfect riding club/ BD associated champs prospect
  • Well mannered and good to do

Hamish is a 2014 traditional cob with so much to offer. He is pleasingly forward, quick to learn and enjoys a job. He is good to hack and he loads and travels well. Good for farrier, vet, etc. He is currently barefoot.

Hamish definitely shows a flare for dressage and would enjoy a home where he can show his flying feathers off! He is a good prospect for a competitive riding club or a British Dressage home, and I'm sure he'd do well at Associated Championships.

He has been lightly shown, and proved popular with judges, remaining polite and well behaved in large classes.

Hamish is not a dope on a rope - he is a smart cob with a brain, and consequently would better suit a competent rider that wants to go and do things with him. He is a sweet boy in the stable, and he enjoys a good groom and a massage.

Prior to coming to us, Hamish had been in the same home for eight years and enjoyed a variety of riding club events. Sadly, for sale only because my daughter has lost interest.

Some tack and rugs available by separate negotiation.

13hh, 10-Year-Old Mare – Very Sadly Outgrown

🐴 Safe, Sensible & Fun Pony 🐴

Very sadly looking for a new home for this much-loved pony.

She is 10 years old, safe, sensible and genuine, with plenty of experience under her belt. She has done all Pony Club activities, including camps, rallies, show jumping, cross country and ODEs.

She absolutely loves her jumping and cross country and is at her happiest out having fun. She is forward-going and responsive, so would suit a confident rider who enjoys a pony that takes them to a fence, but she is sensible and not silly.

She has been there, done it and got the T-shirt when it comes to Pony Club life and would be a fantastic pony for someone wanting to get out, compete and have fun.

A very difficult sale, so finding the right home and rider is extremely important to us.

14.2 traditional black cob gelding 4 year old

This has been a hard decision to make to sell are beautiful boy Theo.

Theo is a beautiful boy with loads of feather, plenty of bone and the loveliest kind nature he is wonderful cobs like him don’t come along that often definitely a yard favourite.

Despite his age, Theo is a sensible steady type and is much more a kick-along steady ride rather than forward going. He is a lovely level - headed young horse who enjoys to be with people and enjoys hacking and been fussed with.

He hacks out alone and in company. He has seen cars, bikes, heavy farm machinery, dogs cattle and takes them all in his stride. He is good with all horse mares and geldings very gentle and kind.

He has been to the beach loads and travels lovely.

Theo is very green in the school due to his age and stage of his education. He is still learning and needs someone who is happy to continue his schooling and bring him on. For this reason he wouldn’t be suitable for a complete novice despite his steady nature. He stands lovely at the mountain block for his rider.

On the ground Theo is an absolute sweetheart he is happy to stand tied, loves being groomed and fussed with can be brushed all over good having bath and feathers washed good with fly spray etc. He is good for the dentist, vet, farrier, he is currently barefoot with nice strong feet.

Theo has a fantastic temperament and is a really genuine young horse with lots of potential in the right hands. He will make a brilliant happy hacker/family cob/do well in show ring.

He is only 4 so looking for a confident kind experience home that understands young horses and can continue his education. Cobs like this don’t come along very often. Includes tack and light weight rugs.

Please message for more information.

Happy hacker / hunting cob

  • Bomb proof hack
  • Looking for a 1-1 home
  • Super Hunter
SOLD! Others available
  • Cob
  • Bay
  • Gelding
  • 10 years

  • Bomb proof hack
  • Looking for a 1-1 home
  • Super Hunter

Jack is looking for a kind, knowledgeable 1-to-1 home where he can have the time, love and TLC he deserves.

He was previously driven and can occasionally be nervous on the ground and when mounting. He is never silly or dangerous with it and gets over himself very quickly. He simply needs someone confident and experienced who will ignore the fuss, get on with the job and not make an issue of it. For this reason, absolutely no nervous novices. Although he is a very safe horse, he is not suitable for someone who will worry when he has a nervous moment.

Once you’re on, he is a very safe and forgiving ride. He isn’t bothered by his rider flapping around and isn’t going to deck you if you lose a stirrup, become unbalanced or end up halfway up his neck after a jump! He really is the sort who will look after you rather than take advantage.

Since being with us, Jack has learnt to jump and has discovered that he absolutely loves cross-country. He will happily pop a small course of show jumps and will trot and canter around the school nicely.

He is bombproof to hack and excellent in traffic, and is equally happy hacking alone or in company. He has spent the summer doing beach rides with customers and has also started going out on hound exercise, which he has taken to really well.

We think he could make someone a super hunter. He is a proper leg-in-each-corner type – sturdy, sure-footed and sensible.

Jack can initially get nervous when the clippers are switched on, but we simply ignore the reaction and get on with clipping him, and he settles.

He loads and travels well.

Jack isn’t a finished, polished horse and we’re not pretending that he is. What he needs is his own person – someone with a bit of experience, patience and time who will give him confidence without mollycoddling him. In the right home, with consistency and affection, we think he will develop into a really lovely horse and give someone a huge amount of fun. He loves a groom and a scratch and is very affectionate.

Experienced, confident home only. No nervous novices, please.

  • A really fun pony

This little chap is absolutely beautiful. Standing at 14hh high and wide he is the true stamp of a gypsy cob.

He has spent the last 18 months doing LOTS of hacking. He is excellent in traffic and rides past anything, great in open spaces and goes out alone or in company.

He is passported with the TGCA and would make a super show cob. He works in a lovely outline in the school and is a nice forward ride without being a "turbo cob" or a slug. He is responsive off the leg but also has a lovely mouth and great breaks. Ridden in a snaffle with no gadgets!

He is really fun and everyone who rides him loves him. You can canter around with one hand on the reins taking videos of yourself and going over little jumps single handedly. A really fun sort.

Good to groom, clip, bath, load, catch, trim etc... no vices or blemishes and open to any vetting.

  • A genuinely kind and willing pony
  • 2nd Pony Club Pony

This lovely pony has been professionally trained and is beautifully schooled, he is a forward, responsive ride with expressive paces with potential for showing and dressage who would make a top class all rounder / hunt pony as also enjoys his jumping. He lunges well and happily hacks out both alone and in company.

PRICE REDUCED TO £4,000 – AS NO SUITABLE RIDER!

He’d suit as a 2nd pony for a capable child or a lightweight adult, could also be shared between a child and a parent. (Rider in photo is 5ft 7" )

Fun and versatile, he’s not got a bad bone in his body, just needs someone with the time to give him more experience.

He’s a genuinely kind and willing pony, but still young and not quite ready to be a first ridden as too responsive to the aids for a child learning to canter off the lead rein. Quick to learn, friendly, and curious, he’ll often follow you around the field just to be near you and is a firm yard favourite.

He always comes to call to be caught and is a easy member of a herd. He’s happy to live out or in or a combination of both, he is calm and patient for bathing and grooming. He has strong, healthy, unshod feet and can go for miles without shoes. He travels and loads easily and has no known health issues, skin problems, or allergies. He needs a little patience for clipping and requires sedation for dental work. He is up to date on vaccinations, dental care, and worming. Serious enquiries only please.

Marmaduke Jerry (Duke) 14hh | 7 years |Sports Cob gelding

  • SJ/Event/hunt/WH pony in the making!!
  • Bold jumper!

A seriously handsome and extremely lovable, cheeky cob looking for his perfect partner. He has a huge personality, plenty of presence, and all the makings of a fantastic all-rounder.

Don’t let his height fool you as he’s a solid, substantial lad who takes the leg well.

Duke is a good doer and has been kept fit and healthy on a simple natural balancer. He has strong solid hooves and is barefoot even with road work.

He’ll happily live in or out.

He is good to hack and farm ride in company. He can be a little unsure when hacking alone but this is improving all the time. He just needs a little reassurance and gentle encouragement from his rider.

He’s in regular, varied work, including outings to arena hires, farm rides and the gallops. He has recently been out to his first SJ comp and has his first hunter trial booked next week.

A competitive jumping home would be ideal however he would be equally happy with a less competitive rider as long as he’s kept active. He’s more of a sports cob than a dobbin.

He has naturally balanced paces and is bold and willing to a fence.

He likes to stand and be groomed, cuddled and scratched. Although don’t leave anything precious within his reach as he’ll have it in his mouth, swinging it around in no time!

Ive done some clicker training with him which showed me how clever he is. It’s helped create a great bond between us.

Duke would suit a confident and capable older child for a Pony Club type life or an active adult rider wanting a fun and versatile partner.

He is still relatively low mileage for his age. He was backed at 3 then left so didn’t start ridden life properly until aged 5.

Because of this he is not for a novice or a small child and needs someone kind, consistent and switched on who will continue to give him the education and experiences that will make him a really great type that everyone wants.

He can be a little cheeky at times (true cob fashion!) and may throw an occasional buck when fresh, particularly in winter if turnout is restricted. (I am middle aged and unfit and can sit them no problem).

Because of this, he would thrive in a home with plenty of turnout or a varied, active lifestyle where he can stay busy and happy.

Duke is a truly special pony with so much character, charm and untapped potential. He will make someone an amazing best friend and a brilliant all-rounder.

Up to date with vaccinations/dentist/physio/saddle check/worming.

Good to load/travel/clip

Comes with saddle/bridle/rugs

£6,400

This is a much loved pony who has not been hammered and has been brought on slowly and thoughtfully, so finding the right match is an absolute priority. If I weren’t too big for him, he wouldn’t be going anywhere.

Struan of Achnacarry is a 4-year-old, 13.2hh registered Highland gelding with the kindest, most willing personality. He was lightly backed and turned away in December 2025, and has been in full work throughout spring/summer 2026.

He absolutely loves his hacking, alone or in company. Is good with traffic, bikes and machinery. Can be ridden in an open field with no concern. In the school, he tries his very best and has been introduced to polework.

Struan has been ridden by a range of ages and abilities, from children to adults. He is definitely more “woah” than “go” and is happiest having a nice, steady plod. Very little seems to faze him.

He has also started his education as a garron pony, so his groundwork is well established and he has excellent manners.

Struan has a lovely temperament and is a pleasure to have around. He is never impatient, stroppy or stubborn like other highlands.

Full history is known. No rush for sale.

He would suit a Family allrounder, happy hack, lower level Pony Club/riding club, or as a garron pony on an estate.
