But they only do that so the spindly things can jump it easier without knocking a leg and thus needing 6 months box rest!
Cobs - am I the only one who would be embarassed to own one?

I suppose it matters not now if I admit to an a*@b (sorry Timefaulter - it was another unwitting purchase, I was young and misguided) and an **xTB (at least I 'think' it's ok to admit to the TB bit?) - as I'm sure as a cob owner I've slithered to the foot of everyone's estimation stairs.

I own a Section D. Although he is young, I realise people might think he has cob-like tendencies, so I keep him under an old hessian sack in the garage. As I don't actually own a garage, I have to use someone else's, and live in dread that he will be found.

It must be awful living with a filthy secret like that.
In the winter, you could buy him a full neck, extra deep rug, put a fly mask on, use Veet on all four legs...take a Strimmer to his mane and tail, and maybe, just maybe, no one would notice?

PMSL, this thread is a riot.
WBxTB like April are clever enough to run around the jump not through it

Weeeerll, I was risking it by using the non-literal phrase "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen", I rather feel that, whilst dungeon was more appropriate, the joke would sadly have been lost on some participants.

I think it was very wise to gear your post to the less creatively minded, more literal thinkers, as I have spotted a couple of contributors who would appreciate the simplicity and clarity.

There is nothing wrong with a good ID x TB. Problem is finding one. As for the arab, well eveyone is allowed an occasional mistake.
I would just like to add that I DO NOT class Welsh D types as cobs and therefore none of the previous comments apply.
(just in case the missus reads this thread)

What a pretentious and hurtful thing to say, especially on a forum where many people have cobs!
Totally agree though, they suck!

When I was younger, if omeone had offered me a blind three legged donkey, I would have jumped at the chance!
My first horse was a TB, I have an overgrown coblet now!
He doesnt much like his own kind though, and only grazes with the ex racers!

So you may be stirring - but my horse agrees with you!

My tb x (cough!- 1/4 welsh d) told the horse listener that he doesn't like the other black and white horse we go hacking with sometimes (piebald gypsy cob) because he's sooooo slow and not very good looking!!!

I bow down to all you superior riders who have non cob horses that I could never aspire to in my wildest dreams.
Do you think someone would let me have a little go on their TB when I'm grown up and nearly know how to ride (Maybe next year when I'm 50) I would understand if you felt I needed a lead rein.

Thank you for your bowings...I am sure all the non-cob owners recognise it as their due.
I am sorry, but by definition as a cob-owner, you will not be permitted to soil my saddle or steed with your presence.
Besides, you would be lost without long, coarse mane to hang on to....and the ground would be so far away when you inevitably fall off.
I am sure you understand - maybe when you're 60 we'll reconsider
