Just ripped my coat so the 'treat pocket' is big enough to stick his snout in. Slowly getting used to not having nice things. Other than the hairy cobbus.
Why do people want to own cobs?

So you're envisaging a type of stuffing, then? Interesting idea ... maybe with some chopped apricots and a few walnuts added, we might be on to something ... where's Delia when you need her?

Famous HHO vibes going your way, hope he recovers xxIt's not a good time to ask. Bucket-footed cob may have done a tendon and the vet is struggling to get good enough scans because of the excess hairiness and thick skin - he is very nice but he does keep saying it would be much easier with a TB...
I, on the other hand, am worried that bucket-footed cob may be out of action for a long time or, worse, unable to bravely lead "normal horses" through the doom that is water. or even worse, not come home after surgery to gurn and lick my coat.

Sorry to hear your cob is lame - what sort of surgery is he having?

I've been a bit lame recently so I don't really mind if my Xmas cob has a bit of bute in it.

Don't go eating such cobs - bute isn't all that good for humans.

Impressed with our cobs ground work not to be confused with his ability to make good circles but when he falls over. I crashed him jumping and he was happy to be upside down with all four pointing towards the sky until I kicked him to get my foot back.Then with the loaner last week he tripped the sand and fell on his knee then flat out and would have laid there all day if he had not had a tow up.

Not sure yet - more scans and xrays and nerve blocking on Monday to establish exactly where the problem is, thick skin permitting! Then surgery to explore further if these are inconclusive. In the meantime, I need to get the feather off his other back leg which is also now being scanned for comparison purposes...Bucketful of sedative needed but the advantage of cobs is that they will eat anything!

I'll take 2 dozen Cob Cookery Books. Plenty of cobs in my social circle who require "re-purposing" into a pie!

I also feel morally duty bound to remind you all that even cobs shouldn't fall over frequently under saddle (or otherwise) and if they do, you should probably investigate further...

2 dozen could feed a whole county. There's a lot of eating in a cob.

I feel almost embarrassed to say that I think my cob may have actually lost weight recently. ? I’ve not clipped and he’s been naked bar a rain sheet yesterday when the field resembled a bog after all that rain. I fear he may not feed an entire village for the duration of the winter. ?

Have you checked there isn't anybody sneaking in and eating bits of her via liposuction. Xmas is coming and it's handy to have a source of cob fat to do the roasties in.

I thought that cobs were well known for stuffing themselves..........................constantly..........possibly even when dead...............
cobgoblin
Bugrit! Millennium hand and shrimp.
Ah... But the problem is that you can never finish stuffing a cob.. So it would never be put in the industrial oven.

Good lord, hope they don’t mind all the Danilon! I think it may be due to all the head tossing and door kicking when I turn up. ‘Food lady! I haven’t eaten for all of 2 seconds when my haynet ran out! Feed me now!’

Meh... most consumers of meat require NSAIDS so from what I see, it's two birds with one stone.

I think THIS is the cob post you are looking for, Pistolpete.

The first two attachments doesn't look too weird, most hooves aren't too far from the ground, but in the third one I could have sworn I saw cross-country jumping. Hm, perhaps my eyes is still suffering from a bit of morning fogginess, or perhaps I need to polish my glasses...
**Wanders off to other HHO areas wondering if a cob doing cross-country could be a sign of the world finally having lost all sense and reason**

It very interesting that in the USA people want cobs and they sale for mad money . Nobody wants them in the uk

Umm - really? The bloody things are everywhere! Twenty years ago, they were all pulling carts and carrying peat out of irish bogs, but nowadays, they get a haircut and some matchy, and they're "sports" cobs
