Stable name: Coby
Cobrador (Coby) was a Hispano gelding and one of the longest serving members of the Historic Equitation team. Dominic says this horse taught him the most and forgave his mistakes more than any other.
Coby was a great horse for skill at arms and 17th Century Dressage where his natural suppleness and classical training shone. His skills were always in the more refined movements with controlled yet still explosive power!
He was a popular face for many years at Bosolver Castle and is seen in many of our older jousting photos from years past.
