Robert Giles Cobs

Decades of producing and breeding exceptional cobs and still enjoying it!

Robert certainly knows how to produce a cob and he also has a rare talent for spotting a goodun.  It matters not whether a diamond is mixed up with a herd of horses in winter and covered in mud or whether it is a day old - Robert will always spot a special one and produce it to the highest standard.

At present, Robert has a selection of quality cobs with two current favourites who are getting ready for Appleby.

The Popcorn Filly





The Popcorn filly is a stunning 14.2hh palomino with plenty of charisma and beauty with also a kind and sensible temperament.

This mare loves her job and has the best, effortless step.  Been out on drives and seen everything.  A real pleasure to work and do.

The Boss Colt

                                                                   


Exceptionally pretty colt and an exciting prospect for the future - imagine this young horse at five years old.

Watch out for him at Appleby!

Kent Gypsy Horses

If you are looking to buy a cob or a quality driving horse, the job of a wise choice will always be made easier if you can buy from people who know what they are doing and truly understand their horses.  With six generations of horse breeding tradition behind them, Michael Vine and his family have a wealth of knowledge of gypsy cobs and driving horses. Pair of driving mares, currently for sale.  The Vine family name is respected internationally; cobs of their breeding can be found all over the world and many top class horses have Vine horses in their pedigrees.  Celebrated horses from the past and present such as The Lottery Horses, The Ring Master and Lloyds are always associated with the Vine name.  A Vine's bred horse has the benefit of generations of careful, selective breeding, every cob has been bred for a purpose and every cob is fit for purpose.  It is true that there are plenty of good looking cobs about and many also have impressive pedigrees.  However, what I re

Tiger Tim

Tiger Tim is a stunning Gypsy cob stallion who has made quite a name for himself over the last few years with an impressive list of showing and dressage achievements. Owned and bred by Denise Kersley, Tiger Tom is currently ridden by Alys Matravers. At the recent South West Winter Regional Championships 16-19 February 2014 Alys and Tim gained the highest scores of the four day show proving that cobs can do dressage. With an impressive score of 79.44%n the pair won the Baileys Horse Feeds Novice Open Music Freestyle. Here is a video of Tim and Alys in action: Tim and Alys haven't been doing dressage together for that long and as they don't have a sand school they train in a field and have certainly achieved a great deal and shown that they can compete with the warmbloods.  It is clear that they have plenty of potential to go further in the dressage and they are aiming towards medium level this year.
