Put To Sleep

It was a horrible fall and such a sad sight to see Bob The Cob down. The commentator announced he had walked into the trailer which was totally untrue as he was put to sleep in the ring. PR probably but the truth would have been better as it gave everyone false hope. A very sad day for the Surrey Union.

is this THE "bob the cob"? What a sad loss. Thoughts to all who are missing a smashing horse.

I do not know which "Bob the Cob" you know but it is not FMM's from on here (for anyone else who make get mistaken) as FMM has just posted this in CR;
Bob the Cob and his rider have been selected for the World Para Dressage Championships at Hartbury in July. He has to have an FEI passport - at the age of 21 - how cool is that

Bob the Cob hunted with the Surrey Union. He was a sort of chestnut and roan colour, quite unusual.
