www.colouredcontacts.co.uk are good. I got one of my coloured from there.
You won't find something cheap mine you.

Don't know any dealers in your area though.

Hope you have a large wallet! Coloureds HWs especially 15.2s are like hen's teeth - extremely rare and you have to pay a fair price for them.

My friend bought her coloured cob from a dealer by us in Cardiff.. Trying to remeber his name??

Are you close to Cardff?

 

[Christmas_Kate]

have you tried www.safecobs.co.uk?

Does it HAVE to be coloured? You'd save yourself a few grand if you were happy with any colour.

Shame you don’t want something a bit smaller (14’2hh) as my Blackie (see below) would be perfect! Unfortunately we are going to have to sell him this year as my sister wants a new horsey.

I can recommend Meadowfarm UK - Andrea is not cheap but she does not sell cr*p and will find you what you want. She is in Kent but she is very helpful and may know someone nearer to you.

There is also Loretta - gypsycob@supanet.com. She is based in the south east and again has good quality stock.

There are some people in Wales - a lot of them export to the US and demand high prices. You could try William Collard -
william@williamcollard.co.uk but again he will not be cheap but does have good quality gypsy cobs.

Plain coloured gypsy cobs are far cheaper at the moment than coloured ones, so if you are not set on a coloured then consider one.

Be prepared to pay a large sum - good quality gypsy cobs that are over 15 hands are not cheap - Chancer was for sale at £2,500 as a yearling - but he is rather nice although not top quality as the price would have been at least double.

There are various sales and fairs in the welsh area - but you need to know what you are looking for, but you can pick up a reasonable cob for a cheaper amount but it will need work and if a mare, is likely to be in foal.
