Is she a cob?

[baleofhay]

Some people refer to my horse as a cob (which is fine

) but others say she is not ??
She is certainly no heavy weight but what do you think?

Vet put " sportshorse" in micro chip papers but i think he was being kind

 

[Ranyhyn]

I don't think so.

 

[Digger123]

lightweight cob maybe.

 

[T_K]

I would certainly say more sport horse than cob TBH, but need more close up pictures to see head and feet.

 

[pixiebee]

lightweight cob I would say? pictures too small to tell really! Does he have any feather?

 

[Nailed]

lightweight cob at most.. agree more sports horse to me..

Can't tell for sure from photos but I wouldn't think so.

She looks just like my instructress's dressage horse.

Bella's mum was a cob, dad was a TBx sports horse. I would never call her a cob, but I know people at comps have occasionally.

Standing next to expensive warmbloods I guess Bella does look a bit cob-like, standing next to my coblet she doesn't at all.

I think I love you!!!!!! That was the correct answer LOL

 

[baleofhay]

She has a small amount of feather which is always quickly removed ! I have to admit she does have rather large feet though

 

[Ali2]

I'd go with sport horse

Nowt wrong with a cob though, I'd love my old cob back.

Sports horse id say.....id have thought more draft horse in the breeding than a cob to be honest...what height is she?

 

[Theresa_F]

Most definately not a cob - wrong shape and not enough bulk or bone.

Nice horse though.

 

[Quadro]

i would def say cob, as most sports horses are a lighter stamp but just my opinion

 

[Yoyo]

hello,

i think she is really pretty and looks just like my pony and my pony is a lightweight cob so this is what i would say she is! she is really really REALLY nice!
i hope this helps bale of hay!

Do you have any plaited pics to show the neck? That's when mine looks most cob-like! I think that when she is unplaited and tacked up, she looks like a "normal" horse, but when plaited looks very cob-like!

Some pics as an example!
"normal" maybe looks a little bit like a sports horse?

Plaited- nope, definitely some Cob in that neck!!

She gets mini feathers, but I trim them off! I'd say your's looks sports horse-like from those small photos, but would be interesting to see the neck and shoulders when plaited!

 

[Natch]

I'd say sports horse not cob

 

[FigJam]

PS- meant to add, no matter "what" she is, your girl is very pretty with lovely markings!

 

[_OC_]

Erm well here is my Light weight cob,I'd say not!

 

[Taffster]

I'd say coblet they dont all have to be fat and hairy but shes not quite a lightweight show cob as these are very different again! She also looks to have knee action which would also sway me to coblet.
very pretty lady all the same

I think another thread is needed "What is a COB?"

 

[ester]

Figjam, I don't believe you they are 2 entirely different horses !

 

[FigJam]

Ha ha, not at all! (Mr FigJam would definitely never allow it!

), but isn't it amazing the difference her "hair do" can make?

I've been told she was a surprise package out of a coloured cob mare, but due to her being a surprise, no idea what the father was. I think he must have been something more lightweight, TB or something, as she is quite lightweight for a cob and has dinky feet!

 

[baleofhay]

Here she is plaited then? Not sure how big the pic will be sorry!!

 

[Tiffany]

Doesn't look like a cob to me particularly, from the head shot. Lovely horse

 

[FigJam]

Nah, she doesn't look very cobby at all! She's very pretty, no matter what "label" you give her!

 

[lilym]

No!! she is a sports horse and a lovely one at that!!
