My youngster Rox is coming up 2 years old in April. His mum was quite a chunky 16.2 French ex race horse. His dad was a middle weight coloured cob. He was only 2years old when he covered Rox's mum and at that point he was 14.3 ish. Vets and showing judges have estimated Rox to make 16.1 ish.

He was standing at the top end of 14.3hh when I measured him in October!

Rox looks more thoroughbredy then his half brother Rebel of the same age. Rebel's mum was a really fine dainty TB and was covered by the same stallion the same year. Rebel was smaller in height but had more cobby characteristics and chunkier then Rox, which surprises me as his mum was alot finer then Rox's!

I have done a photo overload trying to cover all scenarios lol.... xx

ok they are very similar looking our two,but my girly has a bit of a roman nose?she was 14.1hh as a 18 month old and is now just 4 yrs old and 15.1hh with more room to grow as shes croup high and lovely long legs.
 
Some very nice examples on here - I had one years ago ( no pic to post unfortunately) and think they are a lovely cross!
 
I think mine is cobxTB! All I know is she was a surprise package out of an irish cob mare! She is not hugely chunky though so I suspect the "x" part may be TB. She has quite wee feet (only takes a medium in OR boots for example) and has fairly fine legs, with a small amount of feathers.

She can look wildly different depending on whether she's plaited (therefore cob neck shows!), or galloping (looks much finer) and whether the photo is side on (looks chunky cob-like) or front on (looks finer!)!

E.g. Looking quite cob-like;

mine is ID x Cob - and it came out wrong! He's a real weight carrier (luckily) with yards of bone and the biggest feet you've ever seen but minimal feather. He's also the fastest thing on four legs in the yard and has 2 different coats - in the winter it's 2 inches long and very shaggy, and in the summer he turns TB with a silky coat.
I say he came out wrong - because he's not very pretty. He has a huge head and is neither a finer cob nor a stockier ID. I love him though.
 
I have a welshD/ Thoroughbred, mum was Sec D dad thoroughbred but she only made 14.2hh but looks like a thoroughbred. When I discover how to post photos will do so. Lovely cross to look at not so sure about temprement!
