Expected price from safe cob

[Jambarissa]

Thank you everyone for your replies. I’ve put my head back on and decided to get one over here. As I would be very annoyed at myself if it wasn’t right for me plus I can’t justify paying the £11000 for it. No matter how ‘perfect’ it is. Got a 7 year old coming on trail for 2 weeks in a weeks time so fingers crossed it’s the one. Plus it’s £4000 cheaper and a nice Idxtb type

Very good choice.

I know a few who've bought perfect cobs from Ireland with hours of videos of them doing everything and in reality they were very green and low confidence and must have been ridden by exceedingly good and confident rider and been selective on the videos. Which is fine, they're not lying, but this type appeals to first time owners, those who've lost their confidence or just people who want a quieter life.

If you want a bombproof cob you do need to go and try them.

On price mine is all this, good bloodlines and very pretty but only 14.2 so cheaper - was 7k during covid.

How much would you be expected to pay for a 15.3hh, 5year old cob. Been hunted, fun rides etc by teen girl. Steady safe ride, snaffle mouth, good to clip/shoe/teeth etc. Broomproof as possible can be. Very easy to handle. Comes with tack but based in Ireland so would have to buy unseen and transport over.
As just seem I that I’ve fallen in love with but shocked at the price.
As just lost my heart horse and not bought one in over 26 years so maybe just got to wake up to the new prices of them

I wouldn’t expect the tack to be anything very great. You would probably have to buy some that fits correctly. The ‘with tack’ unless from a private home is usually just a selling ploy.
