This is my little furry friend Gypsy the gypsy coblet :) he is only 13.2hh and has short stumpy legs. I take him to pony club and there's everyone else with their tarted up thoroughbreds and show jumpers and gypsys likes to show off :P

This is gypsy clearing 4'6" :O

I would just like to prove that you don't need a fine warmblood to impress... Don't be ashamed of the coblet's ability :D
Also take a look at my other videos of gypsy :)
 
Nothing to do with him being for sale either then lol ;) Shhhh haha.

Either way. Cute cob :) Looks like you have a lot of fun!

Ours can jump.....and leave big Hairy shaped gaps in each fence! Lol.
 
Now I love cobs, but really, I'd be more impressed if he was jumping under saddle and more than one fence... Most ponies can do a single jump of that height loose, my 11.2 used to jump over the full size stable doors and field gates until he got too old and geriatric for that trick.

He's not exactly for sale anymore, but if the right person came along then we would consider it :) it's only because he's too small for me :( I love my hairy coblet, he's ikr my best friend :D

Strange, you say it's 14hh in the sale video.

He's a strange size, one day he'll measure 13.2 and the next 14, he's for sale as a 14hh because he is a weight carrier and 13h ponies sound like they can't carry, it's not misleading, if someone asked we would tell the truth ect. He's more 14h than 13.2 though if you get me? :)
 
I don't think he is too small for you. I'm 5'9 and ride a 14.2..... He is a cracking pony, and a type very hard to find these days.
If you DO sell - then keep those vids. because he is gorgeous!

Oh yes we wil never forget gypsy, he has his own folder with about 250 pictures and videos on the pc haha!
 
im so jealous of people who loose jump and horse just willingly takes itself over a big fence without any encouragement/force/chasing/elaborate jump lane set up that takes up the majority of the school!!!!

Pony is NOT a natural jumper and will do anything to avoid it!! Gypsy is lovely.

Stroppy - what was that for?!?!?!?!

Yep I know what you mean, some ponies will do anything to avoid a jump, gypsy loves it, if you leave a jump out in the field he will go up and jump it easily, he's such a good boy :)
