I think I got to about page 8 of this and gave up reading
Just to say, I LOVE cobs, my first horse was a cob I had on loan from a riding school and he used to fly around the school with me doing handstands. Now, he did turn lazy after a while after spending years on a riding school but I guess thats to be expected. I always said I'd never EVER get a TB ... I also said I would never ever have a mare .. I have now got a TB mare in the boring colour of bay (I love coloureds, duns, greys etc) ... but I dont think I'd change her for any cob She is so sweet its unreal and although she has her stroppy moments, I'm sure shes still trying to figure me out as I am with her (only had her 3 weeks) and that we will get through them with some more work My old cob was also sweet and never bad tempered, wouldnt hurt a fly, and certainly wasnt fat (but that was more to do with the place he was kept at ...) I am growing more and more fond of TB's everyday though .. which when working with racehorses is a bonus I guess and I had lots of fun hanging onto a chunky TB colt while he decided to buck along the road with me as he is very fresh and all the other horses were being naughty behind, but I actually loved it And I think the reason I stayed on him today is all because of my little cob who liked to buck around the school with me
