A previous post has got me thinking, everyone obviously has their own opinions of differant types of horses. When looking at your own horse, does he/she fit into the stereotype laid out for him/her? and why?
My horse is a Cob. Peoples views on cobs generally are -
lazy
slow
dead to the aids
stubborn
scopeless
useless at dressage
easy to ride
a good 'beginners horse'
kind
good to handle
My mare is -
>energetic
>A bl**dy speed demon]
>incredibly (in fact too) sharp - especially off the leg
>Yes, she is stubborn, i will give you that one!
>Definiately has scope, jumping machine!
>She tries to convince me that she is useless at dressage, but she really isnt, we have had some lovely tests once she gets over that stubborn streak
>nope, definately not easy! she is currently out on loan, and it took me ages to find someone who understands her and can ride her properly!
>In some ways she would be good for a beginner, just not the riding part!
>Yes, she is VERY kind - a diamond
a 5 year old could handle her on the ground. so thats another yes.
So, thats just one type, what goes for yours?
