Well, i did it i hogged my cob! before & afters

[cob&onion]

Remember my last post : http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=488076

EVERYONE said i should hog.
I really like it, think she will look even better when she has a bit more top line. But still i think she pulls it off
No more getting squashed to *TRY* and plait it/solo comb it!
I also took the liberty of taking her beard and tidying up her legs, and a small bib clip, she will be living out this winter so didn't want to take any more off her she looks so grown up and smart!!

So i did!!

BEFORE:

TA -DAAAA!!

She looks great she has a lovely neck and deffo more than pulls it off. Did she just stand there and let you do all that? Bless her little cottons

 

[ShmellyEm]

she looks so smart! i hogged my boy for the first time this summer and safe to say he looks stunning without his mop of hair as does your girly! its quite scary watching it all come off though has to be said! well done she looks lovely

 

[MinxGTi]

Hogged my boy a couple of months back, and haven't regretted it at all!
She pulls the look of perfect too!

 

[dafthoss]

I like her hogged she reminds me of a little super cob I used to know. As you say she will look fab once she has a bit more topline.

 

[vicksey]

ah she looks great Im really in two minds about doing my boys (have been for the past 6 rs lol). He has such a pretty baby face and worry he wouldnt look right. You made the right decision there tho with your girl

Thank you for your nice comments

 

[RubyR]

Love it. Super smart

 

[Ibblebibble]

looking good i love a hogged cob, they make me think of U.S Marines and i startin singing 'I wanna be a drill instructor, i wanna cut off all my hair'

 

[tinap]

She looks gorgeous!! I want to do our cob but he's a bugger to clip

Her ears are fab btw!!!

 

[Blitzen]

very nice! she looks lovely!

 

[Persephone]

Very tidy, it really suits her! Lovely to see you left her whiskers on too

 

[Ranyhyn]

she looks bang tidy

 

[Pedantic]

She looks lovely , I personally prefer long manes, so they have something to flick flys off with in the summer, plus I like the natural look, but she does look smart.

 

[cob&onion]

Lovely to see you left her whiskers on too

Most definitely i think its important for them to maintain their whiskers, however the beard had to go!!

 

[OneInAMillion]

She looks much smarter hogged

 

[Tnavas]

Very smart - love her colour scheme

 

[mulledwhine]

Saw the pictures on Facebook, she still looks beautiful

Think I still prefer them o natural

 

[kezzy]

All cobs should be hogged - my personal opinion of course ! - looks smart, neat, tidy and workmanlike. Teamed up with Nice short 'banged' pulled tail, trimmed up legs and head,

Finished off with a smart plain brown bridle with a broad flat noseband - nothing looks better !

Your cob looks fantastic hogged - well done ....love the black ears ! x

What a pity - you've removed some shade from her eyes, some of her fly defence, and some shelter from her neck when the winter is starting.

A bit of a shame really,

 

[MerrySherryRider]

She is pretty, but I do feel a little sad when a cob loses their hair. Natures first line of protection.

 

[**Vanner**]

Looks great

It will grow back!! its not like it has disappeared forever if she gets chilly (which i highley doubt) i can always pop a rug on her.

 

[catdragon]

She looks lovely, I toyed with doing the same with my mare - but prefer her hairy - though I do keep it well thinned out (but quite long)

 

[Cinnamontoast]

She looks good. She has the right shaped neck to make it a good look.

And to those who aren't keen: it's all or nothing for cobs in showing! Mine was all off and won best cob class. I'll give the traditional look a go next year.
