Cobs and Heavy Horses: Traditionals

Gorgeous safe and honest mother daughter share traditional gypsy cob mare


Ref #: 380188
  • Bombproof, honest, sweet
£3,500
  • Cob
  • Black
  • Mare
  • 17 years
  • 13.2 hands
  • Bombproof, honest, sweet

Rosie is a traditional Gypsy Vanner Cob mare, measuring at 13.2HH, 17years, looking for the best home on:

full loan with view to buy at current livery yard or in the locality, max of 25 mile radius from LE65.

Sale only to the right home.

She’s a kind and genuine soul with a lot of love to give. Rosie is ideal for someone seeking a happy hacker and light schooling partner. Rosie has been a ride and drive in the past. During our time with us She has enjoyed showjumping up to 65cm, competed at intro dressage, and enjoyed cross country and equitation.

Rosie is a lovely ride, super honest and always tries her best. She schools nicely, and loves to hack out. She’s not silly or spooky and has been a brilliant pony for our family.

Rosie gets on well with other horses and is happy to be turned out alone or with others. Rosie is easy to catch, lead, groom, bath and tack up, and is also good with the farrier, vet and dentist. Rosie is barefoot and has strong healthy hooves.

Sadly, Rosie has a condition called CPL (Chronic Progressive Lymphoedema). This condition needs daily care and management, causing her to need a low sugar and low starch diet and as much daily movement as possible and her legs to stay clipped. Rosie doesn’t like her legs being clipped and needs sedation for this. Rosie deserves someone who either understands CPL or is keen to learn about the condition. When managed properly it is not an issue. We’re happy to provide full guidance and support to the right home.

We are only looking for a new home for Rosie as my daughters have outgrown her and have moved on to riding bigger horses and in the near future we are planning to move abroad.

Rosie would thrive in a home where she can enjoy lots of hacking, light schooling and lots of love. Track grazing would be perfect for her but as much turnout as possible would be best with daily exercise. Rosie likes to be around children but is not for a novice rider, a confident teenage or adult rider is best suited to her with a maximum rider weight of 70kg and 5ft 5” height.
She’s not a competition pony, but she’s got plenty to offer for someone who wants a genuine bond and a bit of fun.

Based in Leicestershire near Markfield.
Open to the right home, not just the first one.

Mother's absolute dream

The ultimate child's pony, mother's dream and a childs bestest friend.

A real money can't buy pony and the hardest decision I've ever had to make, they don't make ponies like this anymore and are hard to come by

Been there done it and done it all hoof perfect.
Would take any child through the ranks from lead rein pony, 1st pony & 2nd pony. Well put together, stocky leg in each corner kind of pony.
Could go on for days on just how perfect she is at everything.

You want a pony who is 100% safe and will look after your child she is the pony.

Shown at county level, hacks alone or in company. She's never ever put a hoof out of line and always done everything we've ever asked of her we've had her 3 1/2 years she Isn't spooky or nappy never bucked reared or done anything silly. Not lazy and has good breaks.

she's not only ridden by a child but she's handled by a child every day from loading/tacking up/lunging it is done by a child. Rides and leads well has done sponsored rides, beach rides, showing, a complete winning machine and holds her own in the show ring no matter what, pops a little fence nicely, fun clinics, lots of hacking and everything inbetween.

Good to clip/shoe/catch and everything else you can think of.

A pony I could put my life on.

Her ONLY down fall if I'm being completely honest is she prefers to travel loose if alone. (This has never fased us)

The only reason I'm even considering selling her is because I'm kidding myself trying to make my son (9 years old) love my hobby as much as I do and his really not interested as much as it kills me she so deserves to be a child's world and be out there winning pretty rosettes 

Would love her to go to an experienced showing home where she will be treated like the princess she is but again this is only my preference have 100s of photos and videos of her and will only go to the best of homes.

Open to vetting.

Transportation can be arranged.

Won't sell unseen.

Located in Kent.

Tack & rugs can be available.

Only for sale no loans, joy riders or time wasters.

And I must warn you I will probably cry a lot

it will be the best money any parent could spend for the safety of their child.

Billy is a traditional cob with a full mane, tail, and feather.

He is barefoot with excellent feet, up to date with vaccinations, worming, and teeth, and easy to catch, bath, groom, and for the farrier.

He is sadly looking for a new home due to my own health issues, which have limited how much I have been able to do with him.

He has done a bit of everything in his previous home, including some low-level dressage. He has not been ridden the last few months so looking for a knowledgeable, kind and confident rider to bring him on. He’s still green so not a novice ride.

He is a lovely boy with a cool character and a can do attitude so looking for a kind and knowledgeable home.

This is a genuine sale of a lovely little horse with lots of potential in the right hands.

Cosmo is great on lead rein and will happily follow someone on foot or another horse with a tiniest of riders.
Equally he can be ridden of lead rein and has a great attitude to work.

He is nice and easy of the leg and listens well to the voice.

Enjoys hacking out and is often hacked out by my 5 and 3 year old nieces. He loves being pampered and fussed over and stands while the kids fuss over him. He has 3 lovely paces and is happy to pop a a little course of jumps. Could make a great show pony as he has beautiful markings and nice paces. He will happily step up for a confident rider to do some pony club ect and drop back down to look after the tiniest tots.

He has done common ridings with inexperienced novice young riders and looked after them very well. He did his first in hand showing class and behaved impeccable and was placed well. He took part in a local gymkana doing handy pony games ect and showed he wasn’t fazed by anything.

He stands well to be clipped bathed and brushed ect. Is always handled by my 3&5 year old nieces- they do everything with him- leading him to the feild, grooming, tacking up, bathing, loading him and playing dress up and taking him to into there play area with the swings and trampoline (often using these to climb on him and slide of his bum)

Only for sale as the kids already have 3 ponies between them and dont have the room to keep them all- as much as they would love to!

  • Piebald

  • 10 years
  • 13.3 hands
  • Super Safe | A Genuine Family Favourite
  • Fun & talented | Highly versatile
  • Honest | unspoiled | low milage
Polly is a 13.3hh, 10-year-old cob mare. Kind, calm, and incredibly safe — yet forward and fun — she’s the perfect family all-rounder. Light on her feet with beautiful, rhythmic paces, she offers a secure, enjoyable ride and is as close to bombproof as they come.

She’s been on a busy Pony Club yard since spring and has taken everything in her stride - dogs, children, trampolines, busy hacking tracks and nothing fazes her she’s sociable, affectionate, and loves to be around people.

- Regularly ridden by mum and 12-year-old daughter
- Hacked out by other teens, including in open spaces — always steady and reliable
- Been to fun rides, cross-country hires, Pony Club.
- Loads, travels, clips, baths and catches easily
- Hacks alone or in company, first or last
- Jumps confidently around 50cm with plenty of scope to go higher - just jumped an 80 set of jumps with an experienced rider
- Light, balanced paces & forward but not sharp, with good brakes
- Great with other horses
- Never sick or sorry, sound, healthy, and up to date with farrier, worming, vaccinations, and dentist
- Fully shod with strong feet
- Easy keeper
- No vices

In the school, she has all the basics in place: she picks up correct canter leads, transitions well, and stays balanced and straight to a fence. Trained well to voice commands. Not yet working in an outline but showing plenty of promise with her schooling. Eager to please and progressing beautifully.

Polly has low mileage for her age, is unspoiled, and ready to go on with someone who’ll enjoy producing her further. She’s not yet suitable for a total beginner, but would be a brilliant match for a confident child, teen, or small adult. Ideal as a mother-daughter share, Pony Club mount, or family hunting pony. She loves getting out and about and thrives on variety and human interaction.

Bought as a project planned till spring next year but she’s done so well we are looking for her forever home sooner. We are looking for a loving, active, long-term private home, where she’ll continue to be enjoyed. Only for sale due to finances and truly would keep her if we could.

- Based in Chessington, Surrey
- Offers considered for the right home
- Open to vetting

12.2hh traditional blagdon gypsy cob


Ref #: 379982
  • Champion and reserve champ in-hand and placed well when ridden
  • Great to bath and groom
£2,700 OVNO
  • Cob
  • Black
  • Gelding
  • 6 years
  • 12.2 hands
  • Champion and reserve champ in-hand and placed well when ridden
  • Great to bath and groom
6 year old cob, overstamped as traditional gypsy cob by TGCA. He has loads of potential and is very flashy. He’s the sweetest little guy but NOT suitable for a novice. He would suit a confident little jockey with a horsey family who can keep them right - he is still green due to his age. He needs a soft but firm rider who is kind but won’t take any baby nonsense.

He can be a little unsure of mounting but the more consistent you are, the better he is. He is improving daily. He has been ridden in lessons over winter and past few months but workload isn’t consistent at the minute. Has jumped and hacked but not a lot. He was sent away in April 2024 for schooling for 8 weeks. He can walk to canter and is schooling nicely with current jockey (16 years old)

He has been out to showing shows, in hand and ridden. He was champion and reserve champ in-hand and placed well when ridden - always placed. He will stand at the box all day with a net and won’t bother. He loads perfectly and travels lovely. Great to bath and groom. Can be a bit unsure of a tannoy to start but once heard a few times, he’s fine.

Up to date with teeth, feet and vaccs. Needs small amount of sedation to clip below the knees. Prefers quieter clippers and small ones on his face and ears. Does need sedated for teeth to be done.

He has had a poor start in life where he wasn’t treated the best, hence why he must have someone kind and patient. If you want something that’s ready to go and you don’t have patience then he is not the pony for you. - a good home is a must, we’d rather he wasn’t sold on in a few years.

He will come with all tack and rugs. A lot of time has already been put into this boy and he is adored by all who meet him. He’s super playful and loves dogs

more pictures and videos can be sent on request
