Recently, I was on a horse riding holiday for 4 weeks. In that four weeks, I had the most memorable pony that will hopefully live in my memory for a lifetime. Sadly, he went to the sales half way through the holiday to the Leominster Horse Sales.

He is a traditional cob, 5 yo, up to 14.2-15hh. Was at Endon Riding School before he went to the sales. Was named Coco (real name Samson). Has anyone on here brought this pony?

Hi. I've seen him advertised on the Dragon Driving website with that very picture. I remember it because I thought he looked fab. ALSO, my friend went to Leominster Horse Sales on 20th Aug, and told me about a lovely 5year old skewbald cob (forelock down to his nose) who behaved beautifully and had a riding school background. The bidding went up to £1700 apparently but the auctioneer didn't sell at that price as he was worth much more. Unless he was sold outside the ring after the sale, he didn't sell at Leominster that day. I'm pretty sure it must be the same horse. Good luck with finding him, he's beautiful :)
 
Yep, still for sale on the Dragon Driving website. If you search for skewbald, and select 14.0 to 14.3 it brings him up. Looks like he is still for sale, £2850.
 
the chap who ownes endon riding school is kown as the powder king in the dealing world .... and/but not for his c*** habit........... he sends a lot to the sales.
 
I can't be the only one sitting here hoping there will be photos of a new very handsome coloured HHO Forum horse soon can I?...
 
I was at Leominster and saw Samson outside beforehand and watched the bidding for him. He's a gorgeous boy and wasn't fazed at all by the crowds. He was definitely at the top of my "Ones to take home if I had the money..." list that day! A couple of people tried him and he was quite happily trotting and cantering up and down on the grass and popping a small jump. Bidding was very poor on 20th... I think a lot of people were there for a day out rather than serious buying.

Not just you! :) The Happy Ending certainly does seem to be lining up nicely doesn't it!

Come on Jester Ben, do tell! :)
