Cobs for Sale

Cobs for sale and loan
Although not a specific ‘breed’ Cob horses are one of the most popular types of horses in the UK for a variety of different reasons. These characters of the horse world come in all guises – coloured cobs, gypsy cobs, showing cobs, not to mention your good old bombproof happy hacker. Cobs make wonderful hunting horses as well as wonderful friends, in this article we look at which type of cob suits each rider as well as where to find them.

Cobs make great weight carrying horses, and for those on a budget it is possible to find cobs for sale under £1000. Cobs have the perfect temperament to make great family horses for everyone to fuss over.
Showing Star?
If you fancy yourself as the next HOYS winner, you will be in good company with Cob classes being one of the larges on the showing circuit.

Allrounder
Cob horses and ponies make great allrounders. Cobs are steadfast, bombproof and happy to have a go at everything.

Who can forget event rider Ben Hobday riding his ‘super cob’ Mulry’s Error clear around Badminton last year? Cob horses make great first horses due to their temperament and ability to be kept with relative ease. They are good doers generally, with good feet and can live out happily.

Gypsy Cobs
Many people searching for cobs look to a Gypsy Cob for sale, expecting to find a cheap horse under £1000.
