Dennis The Ultimate Family Cob

15/15.1hh

Dennis needs no introduction – he’s the definition of a genuine family cob. A true all rounder with a heart of gold, he’s the sort that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you’re looking for a safe hacking partner for Grandma, a reliable ride and lead horse for Mum, or a fun pony for the children to enjoy PC activities, Dennis really can do it all.

Dennis is the kindest little gentleman with impeccable manners. He has the sweetest nature, is respectful of your space, and is certainly not your typical pushy cob. He absolutely adores people and thrives on attention. He’s equally friendly with dogs, sheep, and other horses, making him a pleasure to have around the yard.

He is exceptionally trustworthy with children. He’s the sort you would happily send a child to the field to catch, bring in, groom, tack up, and prepare independently. His kind temperament would make him an ideal riding school horse, or RDA candidate.

Under saddle, Dennis is as genuine as they come. He stands perfectly to mount, whether from a mounting block at home or a gate while out hacking. He’s even brilliant at opening gates!

In the school, he’s easy and willing with lovely, balanced transitions. With a little further schooling, he would make a super smart dressage cob. He happily pops a small course of fences and is honest and straightforward to a jump.

Dennis hacks confidently alone or in company, is excellent in open spaces, and is equally happy leading the way or following behind. He absolutely loves exploring the forest, happily spending hours out hacking, popping logs, and even splashing and swimming through the river. I’m sure he would love a little bit of hunting!

If you’re feeling adventurous, Dennis even knows a few cowboy tricks, you can canter him backwards… (and yes, we have the videos to prove it!).

It is an absolute privilege to own such a genuine, kind hearted cob, and I know he’ll bring endless joy and confidence to his next family.

Dennis loads and travels beautifully, and, as you’d expect, he is vice free and blemish free.
