Super big quality Irish cob mare 15.3

Really striking 15.3hh 11 yr old Irish Cob X mare.

She has been hunted, hacked and driven in Ireland, before coming over here two years ago when she joined a riding school type set up. Unfortunately this just isn't for her as she became stale in the school.

For the last few months she has been schooled and hacked in a private home away from the riding school and is once again enjoying life! She hacks alone or with others and enjoys a canter out on the Plain! She is once again enjoying her schooling and also loves to jump, although she's not hugely scopey or athletic over a fence as she is quite a chunk! She simply doesn't enjoy being ridden by lots of different novice riders and repetitive riding school lessons. For this reason we have come to the hard decision that she is better suited to a different lifestyle.

We are looking for a home where she can have a varied life including hacking and possibly to hunt again. Equally she could be driven, whilst she hasn't done so with us we do have videos of her driving. She needs a rider who is relatively established so she can crack on and have fun but will happily tolerate a wobbly rider. We think she might suit a 'partner' who wants to accompany a horsey partner for long hacks, fun rides etc. they might not be that accomplished a rider yet but they want to do stuff!

She is up to date other vaccinations, teeth, routine physio. She is very easy to do and to look after and a good doer, and will happily winter out or be stabled. She doesn't need riding every day. She is easy to load and travels well in a lorry or trailer.

This is a hard decision but in her best interests, so we are looking to match her with the right home.

“Laddy” heavyweight dun cob gelding

He’s a late starter but is as honest as they come. Through no fault of his own his owner had him backed and turned away due to health reasons she no longer can continue his ridden career.

He’s schooling lovely in the arena and has 3 level paces and he is currently learning about poles and jumping, taking everything in his stride.

He hacks alone and in company and can be worked in an open field with no issues. He would be an ideal hunting cob for any one who’s interested in a winter hunting

His movement is light and correct for his build and he has the most beautiful effortless canter making him a super type for all round and dressage activities.

He will make someone a perfect friend for life and can life in the field with another horse no problem at all.

A special horse with a great future as a family fun horse with all the quality and temperament for competition

Top class amateur show cob / dressage / allrounder

Ross is a 15.1 12yr LW Cob gelding.

Perfect STARS / London International potential winner.,

In his current home of 2 years he has been out showing where he competed successfully at county shows and qualified for Royal International Horse Show and London International.

Prior to this he was in a home for 7years where he competed in unaffiliated dressage and showing.

He has three lovely established paces with a cracking gallop and the comfiest canter. He is great over poles and tries over a fence (be it only over a cross pole or a log on a fun ride)

He is good to hack alone and in company but only been hacked on country lanes.

Ross is a really sweet natured boy who I feel would make a cracking amateur's show cob/ dressage / allrounderdon

LYNUCK DEBUTANTE

4 year old, 15hh top class welsh D mare.

Bred in the purple, her sire is last years RIHS champion and 3rd at HOYS Thorneyside Royal Command.
Dam sire is Pennal Welsh guard, with such prolific breeding this young mare would be an asset to any stud.

She is completely unspoilt and a blank canvas, she has no lumps, bumps or vices.
Lady is a real eye full to look at, she is a clean, straight and active mover powering from behind.

She would excel in any sphere moving forward be breeding or undersaddle, I feel she would be a top class ridden prospect and a fresh face for 2025.

Bob doesnt identify as a cob!

He’s as sharp as a competition horse not strong nor silly and NEVER bucks, rears, naps or spins but is sensitive to his rider and can be tense, he gets his confidence from his rider. I say rider because that is what he wants a true professional in every sense of the word not anyone nervous or unbalanced.

Bob has always been on professional competition yards, he’s been doing ODE with a 4* event rider, been out regularly hunting with her staff, attended pony club sponsored rides. He would be an epic master/whips horse. Bobs team chased over the biggest hedges.

Bob is a really careful clean Showjumper competed up to a meter and schools 130m at home with ease and confidence.

He has lovely flatwork and is very light in the mouth. He is excellent in traffic and unphased by anything out hacking.

Bob is a yard favourite hes too be seen too be appreciated.

Absolutely no novice, nervous riders or anyone whos been out of the saddle, looking for a competitive rider with knowledge of horses wanting a balanced rider, he is not naughty just appreciates a decent confidant rider.

A cob of the highest calibre who will show jump, dressage, xc, event, hunt, and team chase.

sound with no stable vices.

No lumps or bumps

No sarcoids

Good solid feet no need for shoes.

Clean limbed.

No sweet itch or allergies

Lainey is a beautiful example of a young homebred Irish Cob type , many of her full siblings have gone on to profesional showing yards here in the Uk and some placing at this years HOYS.

She is totally unspoilt and has been brought on slow and steady since she arrived here in the Uk.
She has a fantastic easy going temperament which makes her a joy to be around and work with day to day.
Laney is showing some real potential on the flat where she moves for fun, with natural straight flowing paces.

She has been hot shod and clipped taking it all in her stride , not fazed whatsoever.
She has been out Drag hunting with the Readyfield where she behaved impeccably and jumped everything that was asked of her.
She has been well schooled over x-country jumps, taking on ditches , drains , water and hedges again proving brave and super honest.

Lainey loads well and will travel happily in a box or lorry.

A 5 star home is a must for this mare as she has a bright future ahead of her, an opportunity to attain a totally unspoilt homebred horse directly from the breeder.

Please no time wasters. Genuine calls and messages only.

Lewis has been a pleasure to own over the years I’ve had him and is now only available to the most doting of long term homes who will appreciate his many virtues and prioritise his happiness.

Lewis is easy for a home producer to contest the amateur lightweight cob classes, he is safe and fun for a lady or gent to take to comps, for lessons, camps and clinics on their own. He is brilliant at polework and has a wonderful swinging hind leg action which could be developed with dressage lessons. He has won several major final qualifiers, coming 7th at the RIHS in 2024, 8th in the Turley Gill home produced final and 4th at LIHS 2023. He has had wins in County Show open classes and loves an evening performance.

Lewis is by a top track jumping KWPN stallion out of an Irish mare. This gives him quality limb, ample flat bone, a beautiful head and a sensible brain (albeit with a twinkle in his eye of a competition horse). He has more athletic potential to be developed on the flat and over fences than I’ve had time to explore.

He carries a sidesaddle but now I have sciatica I find that impossible to enjoy and, in general, him a little too wide for me.

He has done an immaculate job of accompanying my daughter on her ponies out hacking hundreds of times without ever putting a foot wrong, albeit he does not appreciate fast traffic whizzing past him too close by. He is suspicious of large deep puddles but will go through with a boot. I don’t gallop him out and about or in groups as all our hacking is on hard by-ways.

For the most part Lewis will take a novice rider, especially in the school. Once warmed/ chivvied up he will readily collect and extend, has direct transitions, super rein back and startings of lateral work.

He would make a cracking working show horse and would excel at every event in a riding clubs calendar. He looks the absolute business when ridden by a showing professional but being produced is out of my reach. He has never hunted or been xc.

No history of lami, colic, sweet itch or ulcers, no allergies, splints, conformational defects, has good feet, skin, sound wind and never had a joint medicated or a soft tissue injury. No stable vices and goes straight in and around arena perfectly regardless when last ridden.

He is perfect to load, travel, shoe, tie up, clip, bath, catch, stay away shows, treadmill, walker, dentist, vet etc and is an adorable, loyal companion offered for sale through no absolutely fault of his own.

Very serious enquiries only please from people in funds to purchase, no loans or LWTB. Comes with both his bridles. Based near Stansted Airport, Essex.
