Why do people want to own cobs?


I own a pure Tb, Weatherbys registered, though.

That'll be because 'nice' cobs are only mythical creatures, far outnumbered by the bolshy, plain, bigheaded ones that Theory X described above.

Oh well Shils and Taffster hope you had your fun. For the record, my cob is not plain at all, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc. You can go and bate someone else now as I am signing off as have to go home and do said cob and warmblood.

By the way Shils and Taffster, god knows what you ride, but nobody in this thread has either asked you or even cares. On top of that its each to their own. I dont like TBs much, but I dont post stupid threads on forums going on about them. I personally think you both are secret cob lovers who dont want to let on your guilty secret. Either that or you are just dam sad.

Grow up you stupid people, or get your kicks elsewhere.
 
How sweet of you to do a post just for me so I can see who owns the cobs around here and bribe them to sell them to me

Now if tomorrows could be - Cobs always sell like hot cakes, why? - so loads of people come on to say how wrong you are, this would really help me out!

Look at the sigi and see my pride and joy, and whilst your at it read the thread before you start commenting thank you!
 
i think many people know what they ride and know they arent being serious, which is why so few people have taken the bait. i know if i thought it was for real id be highly offended, but im not...
 
I ride the biggest hairest beast you can imagine. He jumps like a stag, has one speed - fast, no brakes, loves XC, and is the most funny, loving, charismatic animal ever. He is even talented enough to write his own diary
wink.gif

I have however found this thread tres amusing.
So to those of you who haven't - seriously? Take a chill pill and go and enjoy the sunshine.
 
This may be a joke, but you can't blame people for being defensive.
A lot of horse owners lives practically revolve around their horse - many users on here their horse is infact a cob, they are bound to defend their pride and joy - as would you if someone started making posts like this about your horse/horses breed.
Just a thought...


I'm not offended by this - I don't own a horse myself, but like I said before I ride a cob and believe he really shows cobs are not what people think they are - the steriotypical plod along for beginners, but I can see why this post is offending people!

Well, the vast majority of my horses are Warmbloods, I read threads making bad comments about the breeds daily, somehow it doesn't offend me at all, I don't defend them, to the contrary - quite often join in the slating

why would you assume i havent got/owned a cob? i didnt say what i have...so no, i wouldnt get defensive about my pride and joy over what is plainly a joke, i am perfectly secure in my choice of horses and dont need other people to like them/or care if they dont.
 
Haha martlin

hope your horses don't know you're slating them
wink.gif

I get what you're saying, and I too don't think it's offensive seeing as everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm just making the point that this post is going to cause friction as many people love cobs
laugh.gif

Although some people would probably not read the whole post through (like I have - avoiding revision
tongue.gif
) and didn't see the post about this thread being a joke, therefore making them think it's just a petty b!tchy post about cobs

Just as well.
How could you defend the indefensible, anyway?
Even Theory X would say her cob has 'got typical cob attitude and can be bolshy', and that 'they have short legs, big bellies and large plain heads'.

Oh no, my cob is definately a fine specimen of the above - still I will always fight his corner :P... even if he would rather barge me into one! :P

Good luck with your hunt!!

I wouldn't worry about a cob rearing - most are like mine and find rearing to much like hard work

- just can't be @rsed to lift her big hairy hooves off the ground!!

Call me hypersensitive, and ultra-intuitive, but I am sensing some resentment?

Why do people care so much about what people think to their horses i have a the biggest harriest cob ever but i aint ultra sensitive about it lol think what you like he will knock you over himself lol
 
Tee hee what a naughty poster. Talk about trying to get a rise out of folk.

I ride a cob and don't recognise the description in the initial post at all. Perhaps you just haven't met the right one yet!

lol! I'm glad to see that this is a jokey post, I was just about to get really angry, and then I realised!
