Look at my new cob!

There are ways of saying things; saying you don't think a haircut suits someone is fine, but adding "Well, you're never going to be a model, are you?" is a bit hurtful (even if it's likely to be true) and not really relevant

Excuse me if that is directed at me then firstly I only said in my opinion (from the pic posted) the horse looked more of a hunter type than a cob. Secondly none of my comments where posted to be bitchy (just giving my opinion - to which I believe everyone is entitled to), people have chosen to misread/interpreted them in a bitchy fashion (which IMHO reflect more on them than it does on me). Comments like you have just posted are the pathetic ones, as you have not got the balls to post directly at the person the comment is intended, yet are happy to carry on snipping after the event. Sorry had I know the was a 'lighthearted' post where no opinion was want, I would have posted 'nice colour' or something equally insipid.
 
FFS I said hogging a horse doesn't make it a cob. OP titled her 1st pic Old Horse and 2nd one New Cob. The horse IMO looked more of a Hunter Type in the pics than a Cob. So does hogging and Arab make it a Cob?? In your opinion?
 
Perhaps you should've asked "Does hogging a TB make it a polo pony?"

Actually, I thought it was the tone of your posts, rather than the actually comments that made you sound a bit dismissive, as if this horse just isn't good enough. Especially when you start a sentence with "Whatever..." and "Oh well.."
*shrugs* It's quite easy to misread the tone of a post on a forum so if you say you didn't mean offense, then I believe you.
 
I hogged my hunter a few years ago because you couldn't pull her mane without sedation and it bled so was sore for weeks. She was hunting hounds at the time so had to be plaited and it was pretty stressful! I think she looks ok hogged and I get up much later on a hunting day! For what it's worth she has also won local workers classes without her mane

I dont understand the above???? Whether they are hunting with hounds or just going on a hack, there is no law that says they have to be pulled, plaited or hogged! This is why I get the bloody hump, if your horse needs sedation then she/he obv doesnt like it so stop doing it!

As for the horse in this topic, I personally do not like to see a horse clipped, hogged, feathers trimmed or any of it. BUT, I also think each to there own and if that is what you like and she dont mind you doing it then carry on, your horse.
 
Just to clarify. My Whatever comment was in response to -

Quote:
FYI she is 15.1hh capable of carrying 14st hunting for a day or two a week, and therefore if I so choose to enter cob classes she is eligible for. I think that makes her a cob!

I could have written that there are plenty of animals that would fit the above 15.1hh capable of carrying 14st hunting for a day or two a week, which are still not Cobs as that is dependant on Breed/Conformation etc... My old TBX could have ticked all those boxes, but was not a Cob. She was a proper Hunter Type though (nothing wrong with that). Thus has nothing to do with not being good enough, just in her case she just would not have been the right class for her. My friends old horse (RIP - broke his leg) what told in Cob Type classes he wasn't cobby enough and in Hunter classes that he was too cobby!!!

Tone is added by the reader, not the writer at the end of the day.

Because, quite simply, I wasn't talking just about you.
 
Not sure how many times I'm going to have to explain myself, but in the pics in this post the horse looks to ME more a Hunter type, than a cob (you even the 1st pic old horse). As I have stated above, hogging a horse does not change its breeding/type, to me it then looked like a hogged hunter. It is fairly common practise to disguise the fact a horse has sweetitch by hogging it. Thus to ME a hogged non-Cob, just look like a horse with sweetitch (alway have and always will).

Wow, glad to see that this is still going on!

PBS, I'm actually shocked at the way that you responded to the OP - just doesn't seem like you to be that abrupt with your posting......regardless of your thoughts!

I personally don't think she has the neck for the hog, but I think she's a pretty mare and it's functional so who cares!!!

It's your horse, so give her a bloody pink mohawk if you so wish...
 
Do you know I was only saying how times had changed since I trained over 20 years ago... now you can only hog a cob!! LOL.

and if that horse dosnt have a huge neck then I am gonna sell up and never bother with them again. Certainly looks like its got a neck to me!! Esp in the first pic.

Hoggings not my thing either but makes no difference to me, we can all do what we want to our horses!! I was plaiting teh other night and was fed up and SERIOUSLY considered hogging!! Then I started on her tail and thought sod this dock it too whilst I am at it
