Why do people want to own cobs?

[GreyMane]

Absolutely brilliant!

Thanks so much ! Original picture was pretty cool already...
You know where to come if you want some pics of your cobs winning Badminton/Grand National/Olympic gold etc.
Discreet service, no questions asked

Must do some work. Must not muck about with photos of the space station... Go, cobs !

Mind?? Wow, I'm hugely flattered and absolutely delighted !

I have to say i hope this is tongue in cheek!!

I know of several cobs who are light to the leg and one especially that has a natural flair for dressage and literally floats along the ground.

Sweeping statements such as above I think are designed to irritate and provoke unless people know they are not serious!!

Yep think about it, your are bored at work, you’ve watched the whole internet, what to do? place a deliberately controversial thread and watch the serious people go bonkers and the ppl who see it as a joke let loose with amazing funny answers! Before you know it, it’s 5pm and time to go the the yard to ride her WB x TB!! It’s quite brilliant really xx

Im under 30 but still have a SOH, so I'm exempt

I started to read this thread as I woke up and needed something to send me to sleep....it’s totally worked, thanks everyone, goodnight xx

We own cobs because we want a challenge, not a safe ride, we like the drama of dealing with big strong horses rather than 'skinny thin TB's or Gormy thick WB's.

Its all about power you see!

I’m so confused, people getting so upset about someone not liking cobs then hypocritically insulting other breeds! This thread is getting so dull now, how on earth it ended up at 114 pages I’ll never know as I literally cannot read anymore of the same nonsense! OK yes a few funny posts but mostly just sniping at each other....on and on. I’m giving up here....have fun all of you! Xx

A fellow livery will begin looking for a new steed since her current horse (Arab cross) is getting up there in age. Something that is sturdy that does a little bit of everything, (hack, low level dressage, pop a small jump or two) and she's a smaller person so doesn't need something huge. A good temperament is a must.

So of course because I hate her, only want the worst for her, and wish her many years of suffering, I recommended a cob. I even sent her some ads because that's how terrible I am ?

 

[MrsCentaur]

May I join the cob club please?

I've just put down a deposit for a proper little pudding and will be on edge until his vetting on Thursday. Eeeek.

I am loving the 'tash and the fact that Rigs doesn't need rugs!!!

And that's just the OH.

Its ridiculous beard time with my pocket sized cob shaped annoyance machine. She hasn't worked out how to grow a mustache yet...

Pot, kettle?

I've heard you have to plait certain hair and tuck it into your wellies.

Better than having to tuck certain hair into someone else's wellies...most inconvenient.

Bad, BAD Auslander!

You've awoken the SheDevil just before Christmas and much as I loathe the season myself, others here might enjoy both It and Cobs and feel the Joyful Festive Spirit has been dampened by her presence ...

Actually, what the hell.

As you were ...

 

[Urshee]

Hi. Please come and ride my husbands cob, she is sharp, fast, very forward going and will hunt all day. We have two cobs and they are both very friendly not at all bad tempered and we are both experienced riders, I wouldn't say either was a novice ride. My mare can buck and my husbands mare is sharp.

wow she is a gorgeous horse!

 

[Urshee]

was afraid the post is going to be about cobs being prone to diseases/genetic flaws, glad to find out that isn't the case as i fell in love with fuzzy cuties ?

That sounds rather uncomfortable...

And? It's my USP, and all the boys love it!

Sorry Shils...could be worse though * whispers* she could be riding a cob at the same time ????

Euuuggghhh not again. Bring out the TB’s

Actually my new, now saddle-less horse says ”cob” on his passport!

Whole herds of zombie cobs roaming the streets eating everything and everyone ? dropping blobs of blubber and hair as they go.

What actually defines a cob? It's a type rather than breed (except welsh and irish cobs obv), right?
