From the BSHA rule book

"Maxi Cob exceeding 155cms - to be judged as Cobs. Judges must pay particular attention to type (i.e. short
legged animals of COB type). Preferably to be shown hogged."

A cob is defined as "The Cob is a type rather than a breed. A short-legged animal exceeding 148cms with a maximum height of
155cms, it has bone and substance with quality and is capable of carrying a substantial weight. The Cob
should be well mannered and ideal for nervous or elderly riders. Cobs should have sensible heads, (sometimes
roman nosed), a full generous eye, shapely neck crested on the top, with a hogged mane and well defined
wither. The Cob should also have clean, strong hocks and all the attributes of a good hunter; low movement
and a comfortable ride.
Cobs must be registered as lightweight (minimum of 8½” bone), heavyweight (minimum of 9” bone) or Maxi
Cob exceeding 155 cms"
