Where Classy Cobs and Charming Connemara's Find Forever Homes
ABOUT
Us
Hello, We're Sarah and Kevin! The owners of Brandon Cob's and Connemara's. Our family has been managing this small farm for nearly seven decades. Since 1991, we've operated a livery yard here, albeit on a relatively modest scale. Prior to this, both of us have had experience working in the ambulance service.
In 2018, we decided to expand our equine activities so that we could work from home. Our mission was to become "dealers with a difference." Our specialty lies in Cobs and Connemara horses, with a primary focus on safe, family-friendly animals. Our goal is to carefully match horses with riders and find them the perfect forever homes.
A significant portion of our time is dedicated to ensuring the safety and desensitization of our horses, exposing them to various scenarios. We also attend arena hire services and occasionally participate in competitions. Rather than immediately reselling our horses, we conduct thorough and careful assessments to guarantee the best match for both horse and rider.
We're fortunate to have a fantastic group of riders and helpers with varying levels of confidence and riding abilities.
We welcome visits and viewings by appointment on a daily basis.
