Am considering a coloured cob after having Welsh cobs for 30 years.
I like showing, but not all the trimming/plaiting that's involved with anything that's not a native. Would I be able to do working hunter at local level without either plaiting or hogging?
How do cob classes work? Is it by height, bone or what? What defines a heavywight from a lightweight - is there such as thing as a mediumwight cob in showing? Do they need to be hogged or could I enter a cob class with a mane and feather?
Some of the horses in ads I've seen look very similar but some are advertised as "traditionals" and others simply as cobs - is there a difference?
As you can tell, I know nothing so any info/advice would be great.
Thanks
