Why do people want to own cobs?

[Goldenstar]

I don’t do cobs .
I got a Maxi Cob once ,I put him on a severe diet let his mane grow in and turned him into a Hunter .

 

[Gloi]

You do realise, I hope, that those cobs are flying over the fences because just out of shot someone is rattling a bucket.

 

[Celtic Fringe]

nowadays, they get a haircut and some matchy, and they're "sports" cobs

Mine's only a 'sports' cob when heading at a bum-rolling trot to the nearest fodder!

 

[Berpisc]

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

Er, I think you are looking for the word "perfomance"









I didn't specify what "performance" though

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Mine is a performance cob.
The effing performance I have getting him away from food........

 

[!CobsCan!]

how many cobs do you see doing "proper" affiliated competition? Im not talking low level dressage, I mean PROPER competition. Advanced eventing, grade a show jumpers, advanced dressage? No hairy cobs there! Theyre usefull to riding schools and for novices and for pulling carts. Not really youre sporty type of horse They have their place and its not being owned by me.

those of you offended by the send them to france and eat them post surely you can see thats a joke, if not, you take this too seriously!

I know a cob successfully competing at advanced....

 

[Pedantic]

Who cares, as long both horse and rider are happy and healthy, no one elses business, why would it bother anyone

If you're talking about Billy Whizz, EVERYONE knows he had a reconditioned warmblood engine fitted at 20'000 miles.

 

[Winters100]

I don't know having never owned one, but I do think that I would have wonderful fun with a nice fit cob, to me they look like wonderful horses

That's handy, there must be plenty of spare warmblood engines hanging around after the warmblood legs have packed in.

This is a cob bashing thread, not a warmblood bashing thread. You need to play by the rules on this one

Nope a local one. He's retired recently.

What blasphemy is this?

 

[Shilasdair]

Sometimes, I think I should read this thread from the beginning again.

Then I remember how old I am.

Why the hell do people want to own horses?

 

[Goldenstar]

But why do people want to own warmbloods?!

?

Because they are not cobs of course

 

[PapaverFollis]

ABC... anything but a cob.

 

[tallyho!]

Got one.

Not a cob I mean. (nor any other breed). I meant you to be absolutely precise. Ummm... *whistles*

 

[tallyho!]

Whoa there!!!!! Discrimination much???
I mean why do people want to own a juicer?

 

[Winters100]

I mean why do people want to own a juicer?

I have a juicer! So far it has lived 2 years in its box under the bed!

 

[Gloi]

Can you juice a cob?

 

[PapaverFollis]

Be a bit fatty?

 

[Gloi]

Be a bit fatty?

Could be used as a bio fuel

 

[DabDab]

Yep, would be more of an emulsion than a juice

 

[ycbm]

You guys are warped!

?????

 

[DabDab]

If you juiced a cob do you think it would still be cow coloured?

 

[ihatework]

If you juiced a cob do you think it would still be cow coloured?

milkshake

 

[DabDab]

Hmm, but would it bring all the boys to the yard?

 

[Surbie]

You mean for that fleeting 5 minutes in the year when you think you might be able to feel ribs before they find another illicit food source?

Cobbus needs a good juicing//liposuction round about now.

Hmm, but would it bring all the boys to the yard?

Can teach you, but I have to charge...
