Cambridge Chronicle 20 Mar 1869: Simpson horse for sale
Chestnut Cob for Sale,
FIFTEEN hands, 4 years old, very quiet to ride and drive; showy, and suitable for either a four-wheel or dog-cart.
This is a genuine animal in regular work, not “one made up for sale,” and has been in present owner’s possession over two years. To be parted with solely to make room for a 3-year-old now in breaking. Believed to be perfectly sound, and any reasonable trial allowed at home.
