Dallas - 15hh, 4 year old cob gelding.
Super genuine and kind cob that will go on to make his new owners VERY happy!
Riding sweetly for his age, super out hacking and in traffic. Goes alone or in company and loves to box up and go out and about for a hack and pop a log in the woods.
Working in all 3 paces in arena and starting to learn what it’s all about, he’d definitely pull off a sweet little test in time.
Been XC schooling and was really honest and tried hard, pops away happily. He’s not going to be the next Milton but he’ll give it a go!
He is an absolute pet on the ground and not a bargy type of cob. He absolutely lives for a groom and a fuss and would stand and be pampered all day long.
Super type that will go off and do a variety of things but equally would happily hack for the rest of his life.
Very easy chap to have around, not a stressy type he goes with the flow and takes everything in his stride.

  • Duke is a 10 year old silver dapple traditional mini cob stallion
  • This boy would easily fly through TGCA / chaps gradings
  • CHAPS / TOYS prospect

Duke is standing at 12.3 and is a 10 year old silver dapple traditional mini cob stallion . He is not stallion like at all, and is very quiet to deal with and will stable next to mares.

Duke is broken to ride and loves to go hacking around the fishery’s and woodland areas. He has never been out the top 2 when shown in hand, and recently won Barley Saturday Stallion Show . Where he then paraded the streets and behaved impeccably .

This boy would easily fly through TGCA / chaps gradings and therefore could compete at chaps/toys where I believe he would do very well.

Tons of feather and bone with a real look at me presence.

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

Ponies like this do not come on the market very often

Excellent stamp of a Traditional Gypsy Cob 15.1hh coloured gelding, rising 5yrs ( 5 late July) . Passported TGCA , red stud book .

By San Cler Pearl Ambition out of Acresdale Hairy Mary, who is by the lovely sort after stallion SHAMBO .

Since being with us Rodney has turned heads showing , winning or being placed in every class entered ( inhand and ridden coloureds and cobs) .

We have been told by a professional show breeder and producer to show him County level as he has the potential to qualify HOYS / Royal International etc, but it's not really our thing .

He does a lot of hacking with us, through fords, common land and in traffic. He goes in front or behind and everyone who rides him falls in love. He hasn't done much jumping yet due to his age but has recently been arena XC and jumped absolutely everything asked including water, ditches, steps. I call him Mr "Yes" Man . Still green / wobbly schooling but has three basic paces and ready first someone to put their own stamp on .

Rodney was purchased on a wim last Autumn as current pony was lame but sadly he is going to be too big for the jockey he was meant for so we have come to the sad reality that he needs his forever home. Honest sort that is very hard to find.

Very sweet boy who is going to be someones best friend for life . No vices, up to date worming, teeth, vaccinations etc . A star in the making . Essex.
