15.1hh | 5yo | Irish Cob | Exceptional Hunting Cob & Allrounder

Super confirmation, a wonderfully trainable attitude and an unwavering presence – this lovely young cob really does have all the attributes to excel in any sphere, whether that be as a reliable hunter, top-class show cob or genuine allrounder. Imported from Ireland at the end of 2025, Badger has spent the majority of his time in the UK hacking and hunting. He has autumn trail hunted with both the Portman and East Devon Hunts, as well as hunted with Tipperary in Ireland. Last weekend he attended the East Devon Hunt Opening Meet, where he stood like a rock at the meet and behaved impeccably throughout the day. He covers the ground with ease and jumps whatever is put in front of him, bravely and carefully, including rails, ditches and banks. He has done very little formal arena work, but in the short time he has been with us he is already beginning to work in an outline and shows three expressive paces. He is willing to learn, keen to please and genuinely enjoys having a job. He is also seriously tidy over show jumps, proving brave and straightforward to a fence. Hacks alone and in company, is good in open spaces and has attended fun rides and river rides. He is an absolute delight to handle on the ground and a kind, happy horse to have around the yard. Good to catch, clip, shoe and travel. Up to date with dentist, vaccinations and physio. Badger is certainly not a kick-along type and is more of a 'turbo cob', so would not be suitable for a novice. His one true love is hunting, and we'd love to find him a competent jockey who will enjoy plenty of days out with him during the winter. We also feel he has all the potential to excel in the show ring and enjoy low-level Riding Club and Pony Club activities throughout the summer months. This is a very sad sale of a lovely young horse, so finding the right home is our absolute priority. Tack available by negotiation. Please see video below
