Show Quality Traditional Mini-Cob


Ref #: 401538
  • Professionally Schooled, Forward, Athletic Cob
  • A genuinely kind and willing pony
  • Easy to keep and care for
£6,000 OIRO
  • Cob
  • Skewbald
  • Gelding
  • 7 years
  • 13 hands
  • Professionally Schooled, Forward, Athletic Cob
  • A genuinely kind and willing pony
  • Easy to keep and care for
This lovely pony has trained with professional dressage riders and is beautifully schooled, offering a forward, responsive ride with an excellent walk and expressive movement. He enjoys working in an indoor arena and happily hacks out both alone and in company. Quick to learn, friendly, and curious, he’ll often follow you around the field just to be near you, winning over everyone he meets and forming strong bonds.

He thoroughly enjoys jumping, the video shows his first time out jumping at a steady pace over smaller jumps. He’s also seen games equipment and lunges well. Currently in work, he’s reasonably fit and ready to start competing.

He’s a genuinely kind and willing pony, though still young and not currently suitable for a very young or inexperienced child. He’d be an ideal match for a lightweight adult who appreciates his schooling or a capable child looking for a young pony with solid flatwork skills and a passion for jumping. He could also be shared between a child and a parent. Fun and versatile, he shows great potential for showing, dressage, and more, and would be a strong contender for Search for a Star and Chaps classes.

When being brought in, he comes over right away, always the first to greet his handlers at the gate. Out in the field, he is well-behaved and submissive with his companions, happy to be in the stable, and calm and patient for bathing and grooming. He is good for the farrier, with strong, healthy, unshod feet. 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.

A loving, suitable home is a must, so only serious phone enquiries, please.

Tommy is perfect on the ground, able to be fully handled by a child. Great to catch, bath, farrier, load etc and would stand to be groomed all day.

In the school he is a really nice straight forward ride and always snaffle mouthed. He doesn’t require loads of leg to get going but equally he isnt sensitive at all and would tolerate an unbalanced child, but we would love to see him out and about enjoying himself being an all round Pony club pony with a capable child.

He loves to jump, isn’t spooky with fillers and happily takes a rider round a 60cm course.

He is perfect to hack in company infront or behind, Needs some persuading if going alone but he will go. Equally happy enough to be lead from another horse. Not fased by any traffic.

He’s also great fun to take cross country, Sponsored rides, local clinics and shows and totally unfased by other horses.

Will only be going to a special home where he will be loved and enjoyed.

In no rush to see him gone as his a pleasure to have on the yard - open to multiple viewings and vettings

Happy to deliver within a couple of hours distance

Top quality Traditional gelding


Ref #: 403978

  • Kind and willing
£8,500
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 8 years
  • 14.3 hands (LHC)
  • Good mover and well marked
  • Unshown to date- Fresh face for the ring!
  • Kind and willing

A real solid 146cm, flashy traditional who will hold his own in the county show ring or be a fun all rounder for a competent rider.

Thomas is a lovely cob and is a forward thinking ride, he is not a stuffy kick along cob and as such needs a rider who is used to a turbo cob type.

He was bought by current owner for HOYS / RI classes but owner is not well enough to take him in the ring herself and sadly daughter has lost interest, so he’s been a bit wasted and has just hacked round over the winter.

He’s got great paces and will really flick his toes on the flat, he’s got a lot of power and needs to be given an appropriate job, either showing , possibly dressage with a bit more flat work, doing RC etc.

He also enjoys his jumping and pops small fences happily for a change of activity. He’s the type who thrives on work so someone active who wants to really get stuck in would suit him best.

He was started under saddle late and as such is still a bit green for his age but very willing to learn and is a kind soul.

Thomas enjoys his hacking both alone and in company and is excellent on the road. He will go first or last.

He’s a lovely cob to have on the yard, happy to live in or out, good to catch, bath, clip/trim, shoe and polite in the stable.

 Fifi – Genuine, Kind 13hh Mare with Excellent Temperament 

Rising 5-year-old mare standing approx. 13hh
A very sweet, genuine pony with a kind outlook and plenty of potential.

Professionally backed and riding away nicely. Fifi is excellent on the lead rein. She takes great confidence from her rider. Off the lead, she is still young and learning and would benefit from a competent, knowledgeable home to further her education, that being said she is sensible, safe and never nasty.

She is level-headed and sensible in the arena, having undergone extensive desensitisation. Hacks out confidently and is good with traffic, including farm machinery.

Easy and affectionate to handle, enjoys grooming and attention. Slightly unsure with her feet, improving with consistent handling.

Fifi has come a long way from a difficult start and now shows a willing, kind attitude to work.

Very sad sale due to being outgrown.

Seeking a kind, experienced home to continue her development.

Ruby will turn her hoof to anything and always gives you 100 % whatever you ask of her.

Ruby is well schooled on the flat, and would do very well in the show ring, she naturally carries herself well and certainly catches the eye , she has a Scopey jump for a little coblet, she is currently out competing at 60cm ( qualified for Cricklands first time) and is ready to step up , she has had double clears and been placed at every show we have taken her to.

Ruby loves hacking and is confident on her own and in company, she is good in open spaces and not at all bothered by any traffic,

Ruby has been out hunting and proved to be extremely mannerly , standing quietly at the meet and in between lines, and not getting silly or strong.

Ruby is good to catch, loads, and travels well in both trailers and lorrys , she is currently barefoot , she is a little unsure about being trimmed, so just needs a patient farrier who she can trust, she is a kind and loving little mare that just wants to please , she is up to date with everything and ready to go and have fun with a new family.

Little Bob
We are considering finding Bob a new home due to change in personal circumstances.

Bob is standing around 12’2/3hh and is a 14 year old blue blagdon traditional mini cob stallion and He is as wide as he is tall.

We have had Bob for nearly a year and he is just the sweetest boy to have around in all ways.
He rides in all 3 paces well, and hacks out alone and in company. He is ridden with mares and is always very well behaved.

We believe this boy would do exceptionally well in the show ring with more experience and mileage going out and would excel in chaps & tgca classes once registered and graded (or gelded).

Bob has been to one ridden show were he collected good results and had many compliments, including from 2 different judges that both said he will go very far in the show ring once graded.
He behaved very well the most he done was whinny which was mainly when other horses left him and he was alone. He just needs mileage and experience out showing now.

This boy would easily fly through Tgca/chaps gradings and therefore could compete at chaps/toys were we believe he would do very well.
Again if gelded would do mega in chaps/tgca junior classes with a younger jockey on.

He is very easy to have around and is very good to handle, load, clip, bath and for the farrier.

If gelded he would also make a fantastic kids pony as he is super quiet and has been rode by a 6 year old and an 11 year old.
(We are considering gelding him if he doesn’t sell as he is).

This is a very heartbreaking sale but due to a change in our circumstances he’s not out showing as much as he should be due to our lack of time and other commitments.

He will not go to just anyone as we don’t want to see him wasted as he is here, and would love to be able to keep in contact.

£400

  • Chestnut
  • Mare
  • 2 years

  • Future children's project pony
  • Lives with mares & geldings
  • Rewarding to train

- Based at a foster yard in Leicestershire -

Sally is a charming young cob mare with a bright future ahead of her. She is still very much learning about the world, but she is already showing a kind and willing nature. Currently living out in a herd of both mares and geldings, she is used to a social environment and enjoys the company of other horses. Sally has recently begun learning to spend more time in a stable, and while she can be a little unsure at times, she is gradually settling into new routines.

In her handling, Sally is proving to be a sweet and genuine youngster. She is good to catch and will happily let you approach and put on her headcollar. She enjoys being groomed and handled, though like many young horses, she can fidget slightly and is still working on her balance, especially when picking up her feet. She is at the early stages of her education, so she will benefit from a patient and consistent handler who can continue building her confidence and basic groundwork skills.

Sally would make a lovely unbacked project for someone looking to bring on a young pony and develop a strong bond from the start. Due to her age and level of training, she will need an experienced home that can guide her through her next stages of learning. With time, patience, and the right support, Sally has all the potential to grow into a well-rounded and rewarding pony.

£600
  • Cob
  • Dark bay
  • Mare
  • 2 years
  • 13.2 hands
  • Future project pony
  • Lives out 24/7 or can part stable
  • Excellent companion to other youngsters

- Based at our Burford centre -

Cheerio is searching for a knowledgeable, compassionate home that can see her potential and is excited to help her grow into it. With her rescue history, she will need someone who understands the importance of taking things slowly, building trust, and giving her the steady foundations she may not have previously had. A calm, consistent environment where she can feel safe and understood will allow her confidence to continue to blossom.

She is a lovely future project for someone experienced and patient, with the skills to produce a young horse thoughtfully and correctly. She has the potential to mature to approximately 14.2hh, making her a versatile prospect for a range of disciplines in the future. For now, her focus should be on groundwork, handling, and positive early education to ensure she develops into a well-balanced and willing partner.

Cheerio will benefit from ongoing, kind training that prioritises correct basics - leading, standing, vet and farrier visits, loading, and gradually introducing new experiences in a positive way. As she progresses, she may go on to be ridden, but she will need someone committed to setting her up properly from the start. With time, patience, and thoughtful education, Cheerio has every chance to mature into a rewarding and capable companion for the right person.

Moves well and is sound with no known health issues.

Genuine sale as we simply do not have the time or experience he deserves.

Boxmoor Cody not many triple graded stallions come on the market

  • Top class and will go all way in the right hands
£8,500
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Stallion
  • 6 years
  • 14.1 hands
  • 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.
