Ah mud, splendid
look at that tidal wave! Do cob riders get charged extra at xc courses to cover the management having to refill the water complexes after each cob visit?
Why do people want to own cobs?

Badminton do not charge but Burghley do but only on the International course

As a point of interest.... Because I've never tried... Do cobs sink in water? Or does the gas keep them afloat?

That sound like a challenge in the name of science.......Oh cobbler......fancy a dip
Place your bets people 😂

If it floats it is a cob, if it drowns it wasn't?

I reckon floating whilst travelling in an ever decreasing circle.... With a loud fart noise.... Then sinking!

I wonder if the feather floofication would make a difference? A proper floofy cobbler may sink due to the weight of wet feathers but a clipped one might float? 🤔

Did a cob sit on you while you were typing?

😂😂😂😂 wouldn't be able to type a thing if cobbler sat on me. Pancake.

Too little time, too much to read.
The fat will keep them afloat, they'll bob like a cork. They might float arse end up though due to the extra fat there. They could keep a few cobs on a ship to use as life boats.

You see, I think cobs would sink unless they had feathers (it's not just that fat it's the sheer amount of hay, lightbulbs, buckets, washing etc in the belly) the only floating mechanism would be the feathers by way of trapping air. Technically the body would submerge enough, until the feathers (being lighter in water, despite being disproportionate hoof size) would flip the cob upside down, fully submerged with the only visible element being the hooves, gently paddling towards land.

Cobs displace water, the water scatters and the cob remains dry

Or the feather might spread out like a sail, thereby keeping coblet afloat. Or just as tallyho says. *Nods wisely*
Like those balloon animal cartoons? Superb! I imagine a cob in the water being like the alligator in this video.

Whereas in mud, the average cob appears totally Mudaphilic, attracting 100% of the soil in it’s field to its fur within 10 min of being turned out.

Everyone knows Cobs walk on water quote
Archimedes principle
In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyant force (Fb) on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density (Ï) of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume (V) times the gravity (g) or Fb = Ï x g x V. Thus, among completely submerged objects with equal masses, objects ...
if something weigh less than the amount of water it displaces it will float.
( In this case big Cob hooves)

BBC plan to make a new episode of "river Monsters" Fishing for cobs with a carrot tied to the line. Sounds Highly dangerous!!!!!

Have we as yet discussed cob tail hair ,and how fast it grows and how difficult it is to cut even with a good pair of scissors. I think it is made of steel wool.Cobs are good at 2 things, eating and growing hair.

Perfectly described!
My cob is amazing at growing hair and eating! My clippers blunt within 2 uses of clipping him out, yet I can clip my other one 20 times before they blunt!

I'm sure you've spelt your username wrong. Shouldn't it be Cobgobbling?

It's very windy living on a hilltop. My appy is missing my cob, he was a handy wind break.

I thought that the cob would be providing the wind
This is a golden opportunity for someone to produce a series of birthday cards cob related, as the pictures conjured up by the remarks on this th read are brilliant! Not me though I havent a crafty / artistic bone in my body
