Show Cob

[BonneMaman]

Any idea what a show cob would look like as a foal/youngster. I just can't "see it".

All the ones I know change so much I find it really difficult to spot one as a baby! None of them look like they have enough bone and the proportions are all wrong (short legs to body ratio) - they look all too even!

Anybody got any pictures of theirs' as babies??

I too would like to see responses/pictures of a young/foal Show Cob. I have coloured Show Cob, but he is 11, and I have been unsuccessful trying to find any pictures of his as a foal/youngster.

I'm looking for a another show cob, preferably a foal - but just like yourself, would like an idea of others, to confirm what I suspect they would look like!

This foal is looking like making a show cob...... Lippizzaner X Highland.

This is his Pa, 14hh Highland, his mother is 15.1hh.

Well I bred this chap who I thought would end up as a show cob but grew too big and is now hunting and eventing in England.
This is him as a foal:

As a very slow grown 5 yr old just before I sold him:

Hope that helped, I have more if you want but his ugly phase lasted from 6 months till 5 yo so not too many baby pics!

How is he bred DDD?

Nod was bred by Sarah Derby in Wincanton. His mum was the patchwork duchess- you can just see her behind him in the field pic- she was a 14.2 skewbald PC superstar who did everything- unknown breeding but probably a irish cobx. Dad was ST Ives, a 16hh coloured 3/4 ID - absolutely stunning and Nod is the spitting image of dad (except for being a solid bay!)

i have been looking for years for another out of St Ives- he seems to be a prolific sire and there are several of his sons at stud. whats interesting is they all seem to consistantly throw around the 15hh mark
