Where to look for a ...

[ABC]

Where would you look for a 3 year old gypsy vanner/ hairy cob?

And how much would you expect to pay?

Someone in my local area is looking to buy one, and if she does we're going to field-share, so I said I'd try and help her look.

Her criteria is - 3 or older. Mare or gelding. Nice natured. Under £1000.

She doesn't mind if they are broken in or not, in fact she'd prefer they weren't broken

Any advice on where to look?

I've browsed H & H and horsemart with no luck

ETA: Above 13.2, but would prefer something 14hands

You could have a look on preloved? Also, a lot of tack/feed shops will have a notice board covered in for sale adverts

Hadn't thought of preloved! thanks!

She's checked the local tack/feed shops, the only cobs are priced around £4000 but then they are all backed and winning shows!

Link doesnt work for me?

Thanks jhoward, will google them

I have scoured the internet for a good few hours now and I cannot find a nice 3 year old cob for under £1000.

Do you think it would be better if she looks for something younger? There seems to be tons of yearlings for sale!

I would have a look on the Dragon Driving website - there's often some good quality Gypsy Cobs on there which are reasonably priced.

Another for Dragon Driving, google it. Plenty of coloured cobs on there

 

[Daisy11]

It should go onto the dragon driving page With dealer whips at the top scroll down and you see the mare
Looks a little rough with mud but has great potential

11th one front the bottom

hope the link works, I spotted these 2 a few days ago and loved the one with the black head.
Also on horsemart is an appoloosa stud closing down some very nice type there not all of them are spotty.

Good luck

Ooh thanks I'll take a look at dragon driving and try and find that mare!

I'll have a snoop at the horsemart ones! Thanks
