Just a rant that need to get off my chest.
I own a lovely 15.2 cob who although is a lovely boy is not the most straightforward to ride. He is strong, gets really exciteable and can be a git to ride. Of course i love him to bits
He has been my competition horse over last 3 years and almost always in the ribbons sj up to 1m, prelim dressage (not our favourite pastime lol) and up to 90cm xc.
As he is now semi retired to hacking have been looking into getting another horse to compete. Though have had comments off people that i am obviously not capable of riding anything that has some finer breed in it as only ride a cob so must be a crap rider grrrr.
I am quite confident and have ridden a range over horses over the years.
Just really upsets me that people who have never sat on my lad can judge so quickly
