Grrrr. Stupid cob

[Flame_]

Well, he's not stupid, he's a rather smart-ar*ed, pleased with himself cob at this moment in time.

Found out last week, he doesn't like clippers. He gets in a tizz and squashes you against walls. Fair enough, so I thought, "easy life, no getting squashed, get the vet to sedate him".

Vet came today, and he doesn't like injections either.

He rears up, then squashes you against walls. We tried twitched, twitched and bridled, then twitched, bridled and with a lead rope wrapped around the stable bars. All we got was a broken lead rope. Cob remained un-doped and covered in hair. The vets coming back tomorrow, when he'll have had sedalin and be locked in the lorry.

Clever old s*d will still probably find a way to get out of it.

I love welsh cobs, I do.

Haaaa thats funny! makes you laugh really people rant and rave about TB's, he sounds just as bad lol x

 

[ester]

before I got to the end I was going to ask if he was welsh..........

He's ace really.

He's good at his work, but when he's not impressed about something he knows exactly how to get his own way.

 

[agreenhalgh]

had to be welsh, hehe

godda love the welshies

 

[ester]

Flame, yup, mine is ace, generally very well mannered, has boundaries (now)

however on occasion he gets in a grump or something he doesnt like his option is to revert to type and keep attempting to walk through you until you move

he is always trying to walk through the dentist, never manages it though

Ester, your Frank always sounds so good and looks so sweet and innocent in your pictures.

I look after this cob for work, but if I wasn't set on getting an arab for endurance, I'd want one for myself, he does make me smile, even when he's really naughty.

Aaah, nothing can beat a welshie for sheer bloody-mindedness!

Scooby is obviously a completely different species to these stubborn characters... he just stands there in a state of contented bewilderment no matter what you're doing to him. He tried to eat the clippers.

I honestly have no idea why the welsh section D is labelled as an ideal riding horse and childs pony I have ridden two and owned one (still do) and they might as well be along side arabs, TBs with their temperment lol but we gotta love them coz they are bloody nice to look at whent they are in the field having a funny half hour. I love it when my girl gets all wound up about something which no one else (includin my Irish cob) has noticed hehehe
