Show me your cobs…

[Ladybird L]

had to clip the cobs feathers yesterday, she had some scratches that needed treating. I’m not keen to hog her, but she seems a bit top heavy or something now. Show me your cobs with clipped legs and a mane vs hogged pls help me decide

Here’s my late maxicob with clipped legs and tidy short mane. He was a proper chunk of a HW cob with 10” of bone.

He suited a hogged mane, but I prefer to have a grab handle, so I grew his hog out .

Full Feather (2 years old)


Fully clipped and hogged (3 years old)


Full clip with short mane


He is kept fully clipped with short mane now as I prefer it

His most recent clip (4 years old)

He’s stunning too I also prefer the short mane. How long did it take the hog to grow out?

About 6 months, He was last hogged early November I think, started to look presentable again around may time
When up for quite a while before it finally fell over, this was early March. Very spikey.

Very appropriate post as I’m not far off fully clipping and hogging! Mainly because the mane is split and sits on two different sides and is driving me mental, also because the bottom half rubbed out in winter and won’t grow back. I also just fancy doing something radical lol but seeing it go may make my heart stop. He always had clipped legs as cpl but came with feather (photo included)

When he was younger and fitter he had a short mane which is very cool looking but only if it had tonnes of product on it..it just stood upright most of the time!!

Lovely boy!
That’s definitely something to think about. If it stands up I’m officially hogging although after all that effort! I’d be cross

I’ve gone the other way. Wig arrived clipped and hogged but I’ve grown it back. I liked the hog but I don’t think he was quite cobby enough for it (his old owner did is as she has arthritic hands and couldn’t plait) and I prefer something to hold onto if I need it! Here are photos of him in both states (although his legs need a clip in the photo with mane, he’s normally feather free although as you can see they’re not huge).
