Look at my new cob!

I only hogged my horse because it would suit her and I really dont have time to pull her mane all year when she only goes out hacking or hunting!

dont worry about it fatarse (I cant believe I jus called u that!!), you never know what the horse will look like with a hog unless u try it! and it will grow back so is not the end of the world!

Goodness! People are being awfully unpleasant to poor fatarse!

She never claimed that her horse was a top-class show cob - she just said 'cob'! And it was only a jokey post anyway - she was at least partly laughing at the idea that one can make a horse a cob just by hogging its mane!

Anyway, even if people don't think her horse qualifies as a cob, surely there are ways of saying this without being horrid?!

Cob or not, it's a nice-looking horse - and I think fatarse is being remarkably good-natured about all the unkind remarks.
 
What she said.......



Was I the only one that took it as a joke? Since when has hogging a horse been cruelty?

Chill one people

I think she's got a very sweet face which is seen to best advantage in first pic. I also think the mane is irrelevant. Someone once told me I should hog PF (then she'd look like a polo pony) and someone else said I should leave her mane long (I think it looks hideous) Actually, hogging is common practice here to keep burrs out of the mane... Anyhoo, tastes are very personal and subjective, so I'm at a loss to understand why people are being so harsh about what they think is essentially an unflattering haircut

The piebald cob is very very pretty too

htobago, hatters and PF, Thanks guys, I didn't realise how seriously some folks took their horses!
It is a cruddy pic, but tbh the main reason was a time issue, and she seems perfectly happy without. She has the added bonus of being irrestistable to the TB hooligans now, (not sure whether she is actually bothered about them though!).
Heavens above anyone should make life easy for them and their horse eh?

totally agree..

FWIW, I think she looks great and would have called her a cob too

I think she is a pretty girl.. I prefer the with mane pic (but I love manes), She is your horse and no one has the right to tell you whether to hog or not.

Jeez its only a haircut I dont understand why people are getting so worked up about it..
 
FWIW i think she looks fabulous hogged, but then i'm a big fan of hogged horses (always have to have one skinhead on my yard!
wink.gif
) I can never seem to understand the argument about the flies either, my little cob never seems to have a problem with them and he's hogged. It does make life so much easier though, plaiting wise, once you're hunting you'll wonder why you didn't hog her sooner!!

Good luck for today with the Novice Workers, i'm sure she will do very well indeed! Let us know how you get on!!

I think she looks great with the hogged mane

Yes, I would call her a lightweight cob.

I am ashamed at the childishness showed by a couple of this thread- You conceited little people. This was a fun thread, where a member was showing off her bonny horse with a new haircut, and you try to turn it into the greatest conspiracy of our time.

For gods sake- Get a life.
 
Well I think she looks lovely......and would be with or without hair.
I cant understand the uptight, nasty comments either.
Good luck at the show.

Sorry but that is just cruel.

How is she gonna prevent flies crawling over her face and neck now?

She looked much better before.

i think she looks fine with or without mane and i got to say that hogging is so much nicer then pulling but thats my view
 
Blimey, this seems to have caused a few issues.

I like hogged horses, and I think your horse looks just fine, if anyone feels the need to look back at pictures of the good old days, you will see Harry Llewellyns Foxhunter periodically was hogged, and that was a horse that won medals at two consecutive Olympics for Show jumping!

No one said to him, it can't be a show jumper if it's hogged!
