Rising 6 traditional cob for sale, tgca passport

Elvis is 13hh and is a cracking fun pony. He is a forward going cob but is still green and very much still learning so not suitable for a novice.

Elvis loves hacking and will go in front or behind, and will hack on his own. He has seen all sorts and never worried.

Schooling wise Elvis has three lovely paces but he is still very green in the school however he shows real promise with a bit more education.

Elvis loves pole work and has been over a few small jumps with scope.

Elvis loves to be groomed, travels well and is good to be clipped. He is barefoot and up to date with jabs back and teeth.

Elvis doesn’t like being on his own so would need to be with others.

Elvis is for sale as my girls are just too big for him and he would be wasted standing in a field. We would like to stay in contact with new owner as we have had Elvis since a foal and will miss him very much.

14 Year Old Traditional Cob Mare - LHC 145cm

Overstamped -CHAPS, BSPA, TGCA

Trixie is the most genuine, kind mare who will just do anything you ask for her-she is just one in a million. She is excellent to shoe, clip, bath (will stand with her legs in buckets!) handle, load, travels anywhere and will stand quiet on the lorry all day. She is just such a polite easy pony a real family pony. My 72 year old mum looks after her.

She has previously qualified for the RIHS multiple times and has done Dressage. She is as close to bombproof as they come out hacking, she will hack out on busy roads, brilliant in heavy traffic, alone and in company.

She is a lovely forward ride and not a typical Cob, takes care of her rider, doesn’t need riding all the time, you can just get on and go, she would be an ideal Mother Daughter share.

She will stay on her own, if you take other ponies away, never makes a fuss, she’s very independent.

I have owned this pony just under a year, due to very sad extreme circumstances I am unfortunately having to part with her, I have known her since she was 4 years old and she has only had one previous owner, all her previous history is known.

Her previous owner used to pop a few small jumps which she really enjoyed-I don’t jump and don’t have the facility to do this.

She is sold with her Fylde Ray Saddle and everyday Bridle.

She has the usual Mallenders that these Cobs have with Feather.

Serious enquiries only-being sold from a family home and a very sad situation, Ponies like this are very hard to come by.

Chameau is a sweet, inquisitive, and people friendly young pony with all the makings of a fantastic lead rein or children's riding pony in the future! He is easy to catch and enjoys attention, making him a wonderful companion for a home looking to bring on a youngster.

As he’s still a baby, continued groundwork and education are essential to help him develop into a safe, well mannered pony for children. With the right training, he has the potential to become a superb child's riding pony. Kind, sensible, and a pleasure to handle.

He currently lives out 24/7 but is happy to stable with company. Having been recently castrated, he will need to live with geldings only for a few months before he can safely be reintroduced to mares if needed.

Chameau is looking for a knowledgeable and loving home that can give him the time, patience, and training he needs.

Rosie is a kind-hearted mare currently seeking a loving home through our Home2Home scheme, due to a change in circumstances with her current borrower. She is a lovely girl with so much potential and would be a perfect companion for someone willing to give her the time and patience she deserves.

Rosie is a sweet natured mare, with the possibility of being backed once she’s settled into her new environment. She has the potential to be a wonderful children's pony, given the right guidance and care. Rosie can be kept out 24/7, or she can live part-stabled depending on what works best for her new home.

Rosie does have a bit of an anxious side, so she will thrive best with a handler who is patient and understanding. She is looking for someone who will provide reassurance and the time she needs to feel safe and secure. With the right handling, Rosie’s true personality will shine, and she’ll grow even more confident in her new home.

Rosie does require restricted grazing, so careful attention to her diet and grazing routine will be necessary to ensure she stays in good health.

If you think you could be the right match for Rosie and are ready to offer her the patience, reassurance, and love she needs, please reach out to us. Rosie truly deserves a home where she can flourish and bring joy to her new family.

I rescued him and his mum when he was only weeks old. I am in absolutely no rush and he will only be sold when I find him his forever home and his best friend for life, otherwise he will stay with me. Homes will be vetted.

He was very successfully shown as a foal and a yearling with myself and is the most incredible stamp of a cob and a true showman! Every time we went out the comments from the judges would blow me away! He really is one in a million. However with all the will in the world, showing just isn’t me, i enjoyed what we did together but he was born to be in the ring and sadly I wasn’t and my heart just isn’t in it. I will start breaking him this spring when he turns 3 years old but his price will go up accordingly. It will break my heart to let him go but he has just become a pet and a companion and it seems such a shame when he has so much potential to go all the way. Please don’t get me wrong, if the right person doesn’t come along he will stay with me for the rest of his days, but I am just seeing if that person is out there waiting for him.

He will be three years old in spring 2025, he’s very easy going, wants to be everyone’s friend, loves a fuss.
Currently standing at 12.2hh I expect him to mature to 13.2hh
Good to handle in every way, will live in or out, comes to call, leads, ties up, travels well, good to clip, good for the farrier and vet, happily wears rugs and doesn’t destroy them! Has a TGCA passport, microchip and is fully vaccinated, worming, physio, teeth and farrier all up to date.
He would make a fantastic kids pony!

I have tons of videos and photos of him.

No dealers, no time wasters, no loans, no payment plans. Serious enquiries only. Homes will be vetted.

Based East Riding of Yorkshire

I am very busy at the moment so please message me not ring, calls can be scheduled if I feel you sound like the home/person that I am searching for for him

12.3hh, 5 Year Old traditional Gelding.

I have owned Uno since he was a yearling, I bought him as a terrified, scrawny baby to keep my youngsters company through weaning, luckily he's grown up into a smart little pony with a nice attitude towards life. I know him inside out, he's grown hugely in confidence, he's safe & polite, can be handled by children. He'll stand to be groomed, fussed, easy to lead around. Never kicked or been nasty. He's good to do in all ways, loads and travels well, doesn't get over excited but definitely not your typical plod.

He was professionally backed and ridden away by an experienced child show rider last year, he was by no means rushed. He spent the winter with me at home, but due to no rider - he was intermittently ridden by an adult. I have since sent him back to be ridden and further his education.

Uno is established enough to go and become someone's best friend, whilst he is a little green, he's sensible and doesn't go anything stupid. He'll happy walk, trot and canter in a nice outline, pop a jump, hack out with company. He has been hacked alone, proving to be confident.
He's a smart pony, and a big mover under saddle - I feel he's do so well in the show ring but is also more than capable of taking a confident child out hunting, farm rides etc. I truly believe that this pony will go far in the right hands.

I'm seeking an experienced family home for him, somewhere he can continue his education, gain experience and live a fun life. He's never said no, and tries so hard to please. But more importantly, this pony owes me nothing. I am negotiable, long term loan, LWVTB or a loan from my premises in Crewe, Cheshire.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information, more videos and photos available.

Looking for new home

Sally is a 4yr old 13.2 blagdon cob mare, she is a real sweet girl. Although recently broken she’s proving to be a real old head on young shoulders type. Very willing attitude to her work and tries her heart out to please you.

She’s super easy to do in all ways, one in a million temperament, will stand there all day to be brushed.Ridden by children both on and off the lead rein and really looked after them. Has hacked out down our quiet lane and was super. She sees heavy farm machinery daily and doesn’t bother. She’s a really lovely pony who deserves a 10* home.

Although she’s proving to be a star, she’s still very much a baby in the early stages of her education so therefore greenness is still expected and normal.

Serious enquires only please, no time wasters.

  • 13 hands
  • No vices
  • Loves to jump
  • Good to hack
Apple has been with us for nearly 3 years but is hopelessly outgrown so on the lookout for her next home. With us she has mostly been used to teach my daughter to ride, for the occasional pony club rally, local arena hires and shows and hacking out. She will hack out alone, and prefers to follow if in a group.

She is easy on the ground, leads well and will stand to be groomed for as long as you want if there is a haynet nearby! She has always been cared for by my daughter, and she is easy to do everything for. She is good for the farrier (front shoes) and is up to date with vaccines and teeth. Never sick or sorry.

She currently lives out at night with another mare, but has been on her own and in larger herds too. She doesn't mind individual turnout and is happy to come in. She comes straight to you in the field.

She would suit a whole range of riders, from a small novice to a competent teen or an older rider. She has been used on lead rein. She will step up or down dependent on the rider.

Priced to sell due to needing the stable for new larger pony for my growing teen.

Comes with bridle and some rugs, professionally fitted saddle negotiable separately.
