Can anyone identify this cob from the GYS?

[meandmyself]

Visited the Great Yorkshire Show on the Wed and snapped some quick pics of the maxi cob class. I've absolutely fallen for one of the horses but have no way to identify them! I'd love to see if they have an Instagram or something so I can see more pics ?

Really random I know, sorry, but I've been trying to track them down with no luck!

Can you tie it up with the entries in the schedule? Or was this one placed and you can look at results.

 

[meandmyself]

It was a massive class and I didn't get to see it all, so no idea if they placed. I can't find any entry lists or even any official photos so I'm feeling a bit stuck! (and normally I'm good at finding stuff!)

 

[meandmyself]

I know they're not an amateur, because they wore an armband.

Is this it? Though think they were in the heavyweight class, not the maxis.

Doesn't quite look like your horse, but the rider looks very like the one in your pic.

Edited to say I don't think it's the same horse (wider girth on yours and a few other differences)

Thanks for trying! I'd agree that it's not the same horse unfortunately! Blinking lovely still though! ?

Mrs D Harrod from Pontefract West Yorkshire had number 677 a grey gelding in the heavyweight cob class, and in the maxi cob class had 691and 692 both grey geldings and 693 a piebald gelding,the rider looks the same though I dont think the horses are, grey on top of tail seems different, try her name on f- book or go to GYS results webpage as the picture from f shows it has a red rosette so it may be her name winning the heavyweight class

 

[meandmyself]

Thank you!

 

[meandmyself]

Ooh excellent! How on earth did you find the answer so quickly? ? I've literally been looking since I got back!

 

[Merry neddy man]

Theres a Debbie Harrod on f-book from Ackworth nr Pontefract and she's holding a grey cob,runs Ackworth florist and Coles show team , solved.

 

[Merry neddy man]

Yorkshire grit.

 

[Merry neddy man]

Theres also a Coles show team on f-book.

It is. Just been looking at some other pics of it.

I think it looks like the same horse. Only seen the above two pics, but it's him I'd say.

Harrods and Coles family sponsored the lightweight and large cob classes and the Leeman family sponsored the maxi class, according to GYS results Harrods 677 Randlestown Cromwell an 8 yr old won the large class, and Harrods 692 Bohera Durrow Fred a 9yr old was 4th in the maxi class. You will see other pics of them on the Coles show team f-book page, maybe not owned by them only shown by them.( they own Cromwell)

on FB there’s mention of being unplaced in the maxis with The Commander but didn’t have time to go searching to see what that one looked like.

edited to add it looks like that one is the coloured one and the one the OP liked maybe Fred

 

[Barton Bounty]

Both stunning big horses ?

 

[Merry neddy man]

The Commander is a 7 yr old piebald gelding.

Yes I said that above

Your favourite cob, Fred, was 2nd in the maxis at the Royal International today.

 

[Merry neddy man]

Nice reply F , sorry mam the price has just gone up another few K.

 

[Lois Lame]

I know I'm being a bit thick but are the two horses pictured in this thread the same horse?
[screams of 'you blithering idiot' from the crowd]
Yes, I know the second one's profile looks very different, but I know how photos can make things look a little different... so... just wondering...
[looks around nervously]

No, same rider but two different horses

 

[fetlock]

That's another few grand on Fred's price - he's just won Maxi Cob of the Year at HOYS.

(Fred is actually Nigel at home)

 

[Tiddlypom]

Please tell me that he wasn't presented in grossly obese condition like the infamous and doomed winner of the HOYs maxi cobs a few years ago?

 

[fetlock]

The winner, and 2nd-4th in the other pic.

The chestnut may look the slimmest of the fatties in this pic but that's just in this pic)

 

[Tiddlypom]

Oh dear... ?. Poor horses.

Showing learns nothing, it is rotten to the core.

*cough* please don't tar all sections of showing from this one section of obese fatstock.

There have been plenty of decent size and fit condition horses and ponies throughout the HOYS classes, from WHP, WH, natives (open, junior ridden) SP classes etc this week so far.

The obese cob classes really are the Achilles heel.

It doesn't help the image that these are great hulking beasts with a lot of bone, big deep broad ribs, chests you could drive a bus through and backsides that could stop a tank. And that's before you add the lard on top. They aren't built to be dainty sporthorses to dance in pretty patterns or nimbly hop over big jumps which I do think people forget.

Don't get me wrong, they are usually the fattest of the bunch but there is a lot of basic body structure under the skin.

Oh yes, I appreciate that, but looking closely at RWHS this year, the bulk were obese, over topped by a huge amount and there was a lot of comment outside the ring, in collecting ring etc.
