Welcome to Paintball Gypsy Cobs lovingly cared for by Jacquie Bland in Kentmere, Staveley, The Lake District, UK.
Nestled in the lakeland hills is the 15th centry farmstead of Low Fold and grazing on the herb rich fells that suround Lowfold are the Gypsy Cobs of the Paintball stud.
Proud and regal the resident stallion Cassius is the Lord of all he surveys with stunning views of the Kentmere and Longsleddale Valleys.
Gypsy Cobs are good all round equines.
They are fun to own! Most of our mares Ride & Drive
The Gypsy Cob temperament is unique. They have been carefully and selectively bred for many generations specifically for their calm and gentle nature, as well as their intelligence, versatility, hardiness, and beauty!
All our cobs are EVA and CEM tested every year and we occasionally have for sale a few beautiful well bred cobs.
Low Fold
Low Fold is a working hill farm in Cumbria. Staveley Head valley had 8 farms 20 years ago now Low Fold is the last working farm in the valley.
A sign of the times, sadly making a living in hill farming is becoming a thing of the past
With aprox 260 acres of hill land (not one flat field) quality of the stock farmed is very important.
Pedigree Limousin cattle are sold at 12months old to the store trade. Bulls are sold to local herds.
Sheep are bred pure and crossed with fat lambs being sold off grass dead weight. Replacement females wintered on the salt marshes join the flock in the spring and are put in lamb in winter for lambing early April.
The land is rough, we do not have land that can be ploughed (we have too many BIG stones !)
The pictures below show the areas that make Low Fold.
Low Fold is a hill farm. We run pedigree limousin cattle and rough fell sheep alongside the Cobs.
Both Cobs and cattle are bred for their temperament, 'No good having the best looking animal if it's no fun to own'.
