apparently welsh cobs would be in the 'starter pack' of horses. Knowing mine (at 16) maybe not!

today we had a terrifying tyre, a yellow patch in the hedge and don't even get me started on the duck!
He has a lovely tempermant but def would not be in a starter pack.

Ellie a Welshie and has decided it is her mission in life to convince me that she is scared of ducks
I ain't believing her
Although she is 29 I'm not too sure I would put a complete beginner on her as she would take the p!$$

Hmmm, my welshie never even batted an eye when a ferret ran up her leg yesterday. And yet any other time she does the "super freak" if a crisp packet or a leaf blows across her path! Maybe she just doesn't like litter???

Frank regularly has complete beginners on him and is a complete saint, particularly if they are about 7! I think he is just rubbing it in.
Said duck was swimming in a puddle the other side of the road to his pals and you know when you just know it is going to take off and be scary............
He is scared of everything that will not kill him and fine with anything that might- tractors, double deckers, hedge trimmers, low flying jets all fine.
I could never sell him to a novice though and was surprised they said that, I thought welshy reputation for numptyness preceded them.

Welshie I ride definitely wouldn't be in a horsey starter pack unless the aim was to put people off ponies for life! Bolshey, nippy and terrified of his own shadow - but improving slowly

well I am still amusing myself about that girl who just think she can just go work with horses and clearly terrified of them........and she was eyeing up the grooms job that was advertised in HH (but on the LANTRA stand) at St James Palace

Lol was lovely to see Welsh D's on tv! However I agree that I wouldn't think of them as a 'beginners' horse... Yes some are absolutely perfect for novices, as in all breeds, but they're too clever and will take the p!ss!

I've got to agree with you all. Just watched it on iPlayer, and my Welsh Cob definately not a 'starter' horse. I can see what they mean about temperment and how kind they are, but they're still very clever and bit nuts. I'd say a NF pony would be more of a starter pony - mine's got ger head screwed on better than my Cob.
