Coloured Cob Causes Concern amongst horse community.

And don't forget the 'limbo' cob, a branch of cobs that have an inane ability to limbo under electric fencing to finish upthe grass that the 'normal' horses' have failed to gorge \;0...fab, needed a giggle

# Please note. Some people like to remove the hair from mane and legs as this gives an appearance more closely resembling a real horse. Do not be fooled by this, it is still a cob.

This would be my cob then!!

Very funny, made me laugh x
 
The Cobmeister Informs me that Cobs are being strategically stockpiled around the country to help with the impemding energy crisis wind Turbines can be powered by Cob fa*** from the consumption of anything that grows or just happens to be around, also herds of Cobs will be used in Fracking operations by being herded around to cause earthquakes to loosen shale gas deposits and to loosen deposits of crude oil that had previously been un economic to recover.
 
As you can see, this cob was fading away from lack of eating bushes:

Umm, when you knobble the competition you do something underhand that gives you an unfair advantage. So for example, putting itching power inside a fellow competitor's t-shirt so that they would be distracted during the competition. The sort of things Dick Dastardly used to do in the Wacky races - he was always trying to knobble the competition.

Knobble, rhymes with cob ble. See. :eek:
 
It would appear from the responses that the situation is not quite as black and white as first believed. Ffionwinnie for example seems to want her Shetland excluded on the grounds of being vertically challenged. However having looked at his photos I would make the following observations.
1. He is very hirsute.
2. He is definitely coloured.

The rounding up of coloured cobs and using them to assist in the fracking operation is being seriously considered. Any earthquakes resulting from fracking can then be attributed to the cobs which should help avoid and further interruptions to the process.

Meanwhile it has also been established that the main cause for the CC number explosion is their innate promiscuity. This would appear to be true for both mares and stallions so I would ask all horse owners to be on their guard against the amorous advances of these animals and take all measures possible to protect their horses.
 
I have an issue, I have a bay TB (proper horse) mare who has fallen in love with a coloured cob stallion, I think it's his blue eyes that do it for her. How do I explain that there is no chance I can allow her and this patchy beast to have relations? I tried telling her but all I get is a look of death and a "you cant tell me who to love!" flounce off away from me :(

I have heard there are "places" where you can go and get them fixed. B&Q, Homebase, are just a couple to mention. Its the 3rd aisle down called paints. Theres even a section where they can mix to match your colour.:D
 
Please help. I have a cob mare who has obviously been making clandestine visits to the paint aisle of B&Q as she is currently masquerading as a bay! My TB has become infected with cobitis as she has shown distinct signs of being a very good doer, regularly sits on fences with her now apple shaped arse and is unable to do dressage or jump more than 1 foot. And (horror of horrors!!) my once silky coated PBA is.... HAIRY!!
Is there any hope for us? Sob!
:( :(

Love this thread :D
 
PS recent inspection shows hitherto jet black all over TB has a few white hairs sprouting on her forehead. Also noticed several coarse cob -like tufts protruding from her fetlock region
Aaaaaaaargh!!!!

Shakes head sadly :( you should seek advice from the Notacob people on how best to disguise this. Some of their methods are very effective at disguising cobbishness. However it may be that she's just menopausal which would explain the expanding bottom and randomly sprouting superfluous hairs ;)
 
Ohhhh, I'm SO glad this thread has re-emerged.

Hilarious!

PS my "traddie" wishes it to be known that he is not actually a "cob" and should not be referred to as such. He is in fact a thoroughbred who has a slight tendency to adiposity, and has grown feathers merely as a rain-deterrent. Plus on close inspection he HAS got black bits, albeit interspersed with white markings, so therefore can be truly designated as a TB.

He eats, poos, bucks & hoons just the same as a thoroughbred does, so, simples, no argument.
 
The stock piled coloured cobs have now been released they are clearing up the proposed fracking site in Sussex by eating the tents and anthing slightly consumerly left by the frightened anti fracking brigade who left in terror when the Cobs Stampeded onto site releasing underground deposits of shale gas and Crude oil.
I also have heard by a reliable source that due to a lack of wind in the Midlands the Swinford and Yelvertoft Wind Farms are being powered by Cob Fa**s the cobs are eating large quantities of black thorn and sloes and they have also raided Orchards in worcestershire to consume apples pears and the the actual fruit trees.
 
After long consultation we are now well on the way to setting up The Cob Owners Re-education program. Four regional therapist positions are to be created and applications are invited from suitably qualified individuals.
Please reply stating your qualifications and how you feel this role could be utilised effectively. Positive discrimination will be applied to all ex cob owners.
 
OOOohhhh, I'm just LUVIN' this thread.......... hilarious.

Perhaps we should organise a "Cob-Athon"??? Thoroughbreds, warmbloods and other equines may, at the organisers discretion, be allowed to compete, however their owners will need to provide proof of competence that they are able to undertake the physical effort required to compete.
 
My mare has asked me to set the record straight. She would prefer to be known as trotter cross, rather than 'cob' cross. She is adamant that her apple bottom, luscious locks and rather hairy legs are purely to protect her from the cold and are CERTAINLY not due to *that* side of her family tree that she would rather not discuss ;)

Love this thread!
