Why do people want to own cobs?

[caitlin95uk]

come to H&H said my friend - they are not all scary - its a really nice forum she said
why do i own a cob [ albeit a supersized & hairless one ] let me ponder - horses i have owned/loaned
Perry - warmblood - "I likes bucking"
Arizona - warmblood - "I'm rearing cos that leaf is looking at me funny"
Oliver - TBx - "my hobbies include - reversing into ditches & bolting"
Ruby - supersized cob - "Yes its fine hack me to the dressage - ride me thru a kennell club summer camp - bring me home - i like living out"

Very very very true :') made me laugh too!

This thread will live on forever!
Well, it will as long as newbies see it as some sort of initiation ritual to post 'I luvs all horsies' on it.

Hello Shilasdair - long time no speak

 

[Witchy]

come ride Joe, he's a 14.3 short fat hairy cob but when he wants to go fast, he's a pocket rocket, like he's had dynamite shoved up his arse

My friend rode him and asked him for a canter - he flat out galloped with her, scared the living daylights out of her and she got off stating that he was faster than her 17hh warmblood.

Stick THAT up ya toffy-nosed-not-a-proper-horse Pipe!

I wouldn't want to ride 'Joe the short fat hairy cob' in case anyone saw me (especially one that doesn't know basic aids).
Urgh, the thought has made me feel queasy.

I love cobs...although I own a fantastically bred Hanoverian who is rather slow and does need you to use your legs, who is a genuinely safe horse ok yes he is only 7 and can spook at silly things but hell he is still a baby and you can sit to his spooks no sweat !!

best I can do

IAAC where have you been lately anyway, or just busy

 

[CorvusCorax]

Does someone shine a picture of a cucumber in the sky, and either Shils or IIAC turn up?

 

[Witchy]

Does it echo where you are, you are so far up your own arse

I'm here. Just very busy. Mind you, HHO is a great tool for procrastination.

I refute any suggestion that I am connected in any way, shape or tendril to IAAC.
