Blackie

Blackie is a middleweight cob, that is to say Blackie herself is rather portly and could be described as a heavyweight but her breeding is middleweight!

Blackie is the mare everyone wants to own, she can carry riders from very small because she is so well mannered right up to those on the larger size, thirteen stone, her manners are perfect, nothing bothers her.

Blackie was a much loved mare whose owner unfortunately had a major breakdown and we took her in while the owner went into hospital, last year the lady signed Blackie over to us to ensure that she would spend the rest of her life being looked after and loved and never end up in the wrong hands.

Normally a 14hh weight carrying cob like Blackie would have been offered up for loan but as I value my life this is never going to happen, because she is ideal for Equine Assisted Therapy.

We are unsure of Blackie’s age but she is thought to be in her early twenties.
