Hi i am wondering if anyone can help me.
I am curious about the Traditional Gypsy Cob
I rode from the age of 6 up till i was 21
I am now 25 and i have gained some weight since i was 21,
I am now 17.6 stone but i am 6ft1
So i do not look (fat) most people say i carry it off because of my height
I am however planning on loosing weight.
from the age of 6 to 21 i had welsh section c, a Connemara , and a Irish sports horse
I've decided i want to get back into riding as my partner has his own time and i would like mine again and i have been looking at these cobs at 15.3
My question is at my current weight and my height would a 15.3 cob be fine carrying me i am not wanting to do to much just hacking etc
I have asked some horse friends but have received mixed info, I do have my own opinion and have knowledge but not on the type i am looking at
Any comments advice would be great
Thank You
