Outstanding 4yo ID x Cob Gelding – 13 BD Points, Absolute Gentleman!

Outstanding 4yo ID x Cob Gelding – 13 BD Points, Absolute Gentleman!
• Breed: Irish Draught x Gypsy Cob
• Height: 15.2hh
• Age: 4 years
• Colour: Black
• Sex: Gelding

Description:
Teddy (Registered BD name: Bolt III) is a truly exceptional, loving, and genuine young horse with a mature attitude far beyond his years. Purchased directly from his breeder in Ireland as a 2-year-old, he was professionally backed in December last year and has been produced with love and longevity in mind.

Despite his young age, Teddy is already proving to be a fantastic all-rounder:
• Dressage: Currently competing at BD Prelim with scores of 67–69%, already accumulating 13 BD points. He has done 3 BD tests to date.
• Jumping: Taking everything in his stride! He has been lightly introduced to jumps up to 60cm (kept low due to rider preference), showing a brave, honest attitude with zero stop or run-out.
• XC / Farm Rides: A total superstar on farm rides and in the forest. He pops over logs and fallen trees with ease, remaining calm, manners-bound, and completely manners-focused—often behaving better than his older companions!
• Gallops: Teddy after being under saddle for only 5 wks was taken on his own in the trailer to the gallops where he was impeccably behaved!

An Absolute Pleasure to Do For:
Teddy is an absolute gentleman to handle. He loads easily, travels perfectly alone, and stands like a rock to be mounted at strange venues. During a 6-week rider recovery from surgery this year, Teddy was ridden by a 14-year-old girl who took him hacking, on fun rides, and out in her horsebox—he was impeccable with a younger rider.
He is good with tractors/machinery around the yard. Due to 60mph traffic at home, his road hacking has been kept to quieter lanes away from the yard, where he is very good.

Health & Manners:
• No vices, clean legs, good feet, no blemishes or scars.
• Never bucks, naps, rears, or gets strong.

Teddy has a heart of gold, his ears are always forward, and he is always happy to see you. He was purchased alongside his full sister with the intention to sell, and he is now ready to find a 5* home. Ideally looking for a rider who wants to continue his education and journey

Luna

16hh, 4 year old Suffolk Punch x Warmblood
This mare is oozing with potential, she has a genuine temperament and a bright future ahead of her.

Luna is eye-catching mare with plenty of presence and is a real foot-in-each-corner type, she has been in the same home all her life and has been given the time to mature correctly. Recently backed and started her education, she is proving willing, trainable and eager to learn.

She is riding away nicely and, whilst still green, has a sensible attitude towards her work. She boasts three correct, uphill paces and is ready for someone to continue her education and put their own stamp on her.

She would suit a knowledgeable home looking for a quality young horse to produce further. She has all the attributes to make a lovely all-rounder and is ready for her next chapter.

Her breeding speaks for itself, with her brother having competed successfully at both HOYS and the Royal International and having qualified again this year.

Good to load and travel
Good to handle on the ground
Sweet, affectionate nature
Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and physio
Same home since birth

A genuine, unspoilt young mare with a bright future ahead of her. A very sad sale, and she will only be available to the very best of homes where her education can continue.

Top class Blagdon traditional cob


Ref #: 410928
  • Fabulous mover and good length of rein
  • Great presence with 'look at me' quality
  • He would suit a competent home producer or professional
£8,500 OIRO
  • Cob
  • Piebald
  • Gelding
  • 5 years
  • 15 hands
  • Fabulous mover and good length of rein
  • Great presence with 'look at me' quality
  • He would suit a competent home producer or professional

Colin is a 15hh (153cm ) 5 yr old traditional Blagdon cob gelding .

I bought him as a just backed 3 yr old for my daughter to show , she then decided to go traveling ! I kept him as he needed time to mature and is is such a super type and easy to have around. Fast forward and I started him again putting in lots of ground work , he was so easy , riding nicely, has never bucked , reared or napped but is very green .

His progress has been cut short due to illness in the family and my daughter Is unable to ride .

Colin has the best feather I’ve seen on a cob , from the back of his knee , straight and silky and loads of it , he’s got plenty of bone , clean through his hocks and no lumps , bumps or extras . He would potentially strip out but I’ll leave that to his new owner to make that decision.

Colin sits up and looks through the bridle , fabulous mover and good length of rein . Great presence with ‘look at me ‘ quality .

He’s content being in or out without company and equally happy out with mares ( I don’t have any other geldings .

He is vice free , teeth, vaccines , feet ( bare foot ) all up to date . He is currently not in work and this is reflected in his price . He is far from being established but I truly believe that a few weeks back into a routine of work he would be flying ( not literally)

He would suit a competent home producer or professional. No novices or nervous Nellie’s , hes young and a novice , id hate to see him ruined by inexperienced hands as he’s got so much potential. Hes a sweet boy , lovely kind temperament a if he was a year younger id keep him but he needs a job . Happy to answer any questions but i wont reply to texts.

16.2hh 10yo ID Mare allrounder / riding club / happy hacker / hunter

  • Grey
  • Mare
  • 10 years

  • Super smart genuine mare
  • Has hunted / beach rides / fun rides
  • Has been to UA shows / xc schooled / arena hires
A very sad sale of a truly super mare. Absolutely ball of a mare, 16.2hh but huge amount of bone and presence, you would think she was much bigger. Full registered Irish Draught, fabulous class 1 breeding throughout, she is eligible for grading, has not been graded herself. Breeding including King of Diamonds x Holycross x Gentle Ruler. She has spent a little time in the maternity ward breeding foals, she;s been a good mother and would be a credit to any stud to breed quality stock from.

She is good to do in all ways, hacks alone or in company, good in all traffic. Good to hack around the fields and open spaces alone and with others. I ride her in a snaffle, she has done a couple of Mondays hunting with the Fernie and has hunted in Ireland, I hunted her in a running gag and she was perfect. I have taken her to fun rides and many group outings and pub hacks and she is just the best, and solid as a rock.

Zoey has been to arena hires and UA shows, she is brave over fillers and pretty athletic for a big old unit! She has been xc schooling and was brilliant, super brave over all the scary fences, straight and genuine to the ditches and water. She gives you a lovely feel over a fence and really wants to be careful.

She is working well on the flat- as a consequence of being a broodmare she is a little weak over her top line, and she has a very large canter, so she is a bit green in this area and needs time and conditioning work to build her up- Rome wasn’t built in a day! She’s super intelligent and loves schooling and learning new things and working over poles, and she is nice and light in the mouth.

Zoey has been ridden on the beach, been to fun rides, and has been ridden by novices- including giving my 2yr old daughter rides around the yard, she is a v quiet, genuine and straight mare.
She moves well, she is sound, straight and correct and has a spring in her step in everything that she does!

Good with the farrier, good to clip, load, travel, bath, mane pull etc.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT A MARE SHE IS NOT FOR YOU! Zo is a horse with a big personality. She can pull a face when you put the saddle on, she can pull a face while you grab her rug at the shoulders and pull it forwards. She hasnt ever bitten or kicked. She does turn out with other horses.

I currently have her on Regumate, as I found when she had her first season she kept turning round and biting herself. She was no different in ridden work and handling, but I found that she was obviously in discomfort and I didn’t love that for her. She will be sold with her current bottle of regumate, which at 10ml a day should last for the rest of this summer until her seasons shut down. She has a capped hock which is of no concern, purely cosmetic, and a couple of scars on her bum. She is open to any vetting, she’s a sound tough old girl.

She is not suitable for a total novice or nervous person, she is not suitable as a very heavy weight carrier as she is weaker over her top line from having foals. I want someone to look at her and her massive head with adoration the way that I do and is an out and out mare lover!!

I think she will be a really fun riding club eventer/hunter/dressage/showjumper. She’s a talented girl and lovely to ride. She is incredibly affectionate and comes to call in the field.
