    TBs are the best and I bred and raised them. Amazing horses to ride as they've experienced a lot of action. I used to take mine up the trails to get them fit for the track. I love that you ride with your kids. I used to also when they were young. I'm Canadian, but as a teenager I came over to England. Found a job on a farm owned by a hunt Chairman. I looked after his barn in Hertfordshire.

    Denver's an angel he does exactly what you ask him to do and he's so encouraging all the time bless.I haven't got any young kids that would do that for me I must say lucky you! 😊🤗 Ooh and a chestnut thoroughbred too I'm so jealous. My favourite breed and they are so comfy as they have that long low daisy -cutter action. I have a PRE and they have such a huge high action that even his very bouncy walk took some getting used to, especially downhill lol. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this guy for sure.

    Just found your channel. Your bridlepaths are amazing. How old is your OttB? Have you rehabbed a racehorse before. Love chestnut coloring. I could feel your anxiety as he was cantering off. Nothing scarier than a bolting horse. Stay safe and happy trails.

    Ah thank you. It was scary for a moment there, i thought he was going to gallop off up the hill!!! It's very helpful having him walk with us, especially in the early days of trying to turn the spicy boy into a calm happy hacker 🫣 were getting there slowly. Good luck with your Arab!!! Such a gorgeous breed😍

    Cobs are amazing powerful little horses who are strong, wide, fluffy and not t much taller than ponies, but lots wider,stronger and usually a big taller than 14 hands.Up to 15 hands. They are sweet, curious, willing, playful kind, tough, can be stubborn, but usually like making relationships with their humans. I love Cobs!!! 🥰👍💗🐴💗

    Contacted you a few weeks ago about buying a Cob and eventually I found one 9-year-ol Gelding from a riding school only problem is he pulls the reins from me when riding and throws his head on hot days with flies do you have any advice for me (I have bought a nose fly net and he arrives on Sunday. Thank you Debbie

  • @diaryofahappyhacker
    @diaryofahappyhackerАй бұрын

    Fly mask if it's the flys bothering him. I sometimes ride in a fly mask but I use a full head one. Also my little cob used to throw her head and pull reins when she wanted more rein, so I tend to ride on the buckle now and that's stopped it. If I'm cantering her she'll sometimes throw her head down so again I just have a loose rein. Maybe try a different bit if that doesn't work. Good luck though!! Lots of happy adventures for you 😊😊😊

  • @diaryofahappyhacker
    @diaryofahappyhacker3 ай бұрын

    Hi, I would suggest looking on Facebook. There are some groups 'cobs for sale uk' and 'happy hackers and family horses' just as a starting point. Then going out and doing lots of visits and see what type of cob you're after. Something young and fresh, foward or ploddy. Also go visit local riding schools as they might have some for sale and if not, they can usually put you in touch with reliable dealers. Sometimes it takes time. We've never had a big budget and I've been very lucky, but I've also spent months looking. I also go to Brecon sales and that can always throw up a few diamond in the rough types. Good luck!!! 🤞🏼🍀
