Why are coblets so greedy?

[Supertrooper]

Mine is like a grumpy old man, he demands his food and is only really happy when he's eating (or so it seems sometimes) this time of year he hates as there is no grass. He does get hay, chaff and fast fibre twice daily.

I'm sure there's others like him. Poor boy, he's always on a diet too :-(

Haha!

Coblets are like the Labradors of the equine world - life support for a stomach......

Not just cobs. My dutch warmblood is food obsessed.

 

[tallyho!]

Coz they're ugly, it's comfort eating

I have a warmblood who's completely food obsessed. And he's only a yearling, i dread to think what he'll be like when he's older!

 

[Supertrooper]

My boy is not ugly!!!!

I like that he's life support for his stomach To be fair he has got big legs to fill, this is a rare picture of him away from his hay bucket.......

LOL.

Idk but I wish miss coblet I ride would pay a little less attention to her tummy and a little more on her work!

 

[Jesstickle]

My two are both utterly food obsessed and as most of you know, they aren't cobs! BH especially is most happy when he has a bucket already and a pile of haylage to look forward to. Sadly for him, it's been so mild he doesn't get bucket feeds yet this year!

My cob was starved as a youngster and is never going to let anyone forget it! She even tries to eat whilst trotting on a hack

 

[Welshie Squisher]

My Irish cob thinks he's starved, his waist line says otherwise!
I moved yards about 2 weeks ago and went along fo the first days turnout to do it myself, well I was mortified, he towed me all over looking for grass and looked a right arse, but he didn't know where he was going to starving cob brain kicked in and thought of nothing but grass!
The field is full of it, he no knows this and walks like a lamb and not the tw*t he appeared on day 1
