Why do people want to own cobs?

[CorvusCorax]

OK, OK, when we want you we shine a picture of a cob in the sky.

PS I doubt this thread will be here tomorrow, using my instinct for detection....

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

Well when you openly slag off individual peoples horses you deserve a kick in the head, which I'm more than happy to do given the opportunity

Why, thank you, Binky01.
And yet it still hasn't made it into the 'Top Five' threads in the letters page, damn them to Hades!
I think newbies feel duty bound to post on this now...

Do you know, Witchy, I had you pegged as a more physical than intellectual type.

That could prove a bit messy.

If it helps. Said cob of ours was a lazy toad tonight. If it helps! Typical...just started him on the comp mix and he's turned lazy. LOL


Though I reckon if his feathers were flames like them photos,he would look rather awesome

Thinking of posting a thread................
Why do people own a TB


Just a thought

fealing brave

Dont think I dare............. as a cob owner lol

 

[ester]

*sends beta blockers binky's way*

btw binks, if hairy was hogged/clipped how would you know if he would look good hairy or not? and vice versa, your hogged one, how do you know would not look good hairy?

 

[nativetyponies]

Thinking of posting a thread................
Why do people own a TB

Because they enjoy paying for their Vet's yearly Carribean Cruise.

 

[Sparkles]

*gratefully received*

Hogged one was a hairy! Just not such a good hairy. Hence why he was hogged. [That's a real mouthful to say!!! Haha]

And Hairy....well short of sheep sheering...our clippers would keel over just at the thought of going through all of THAT. Lmao. Plus, a quality gypsy cob isn't built in the same way that would make them suitable to be a quality show cob sadly. [Ie, too hench for show cob classes! Measured at about 13-14" of bone o_o ] Generally, one or the other. [Though obv the 'halfway hairies' tend to suit either style...liked hogged cobby]

 

[ester]

ah ok, wasnt sure if they were the same underneath. thankies

smossy... was done, at the time, as was WB I think, just less fun

 

[nickib]

Lol!

Meet Toby...

This is him at HOYS. He belongs to my yard owner. Is that 'PROPER' enough for you?

He is stunning

 

[PaddyMonty]

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!

I iz up hauled
Me missus as one of them cobs what does advanced medium ponsy stuff. and its ginge an a girl horse and welsh.

corse she dont do no jumpin coz she's like a dresige diva so she makes one of the sprogs do the scary stuff an all

You jus wudnt kno a good orse if it bit yer fat backside.

 

[cloudandmatrix]

can i just say that i laugh at the idea of these supposed calm, and sound cobs!!!!

my own beloved mare was too much of a handful for me to ride,
she then went lame for a month,
and we discovered she has navicular in the both forelegs,
a damaged deep digital flexor tendon
and is probably going to end up being retired after a month or 2 intensive trreatment, and a winter turned away/

she is 9.

and yes, without insurance i think we would have paid for my vets yearly cruise!!!

give me an arab please someone



(she is such a sweetie really though, not a bad bone in her body,just no plod)

 

[Shilasdair]

I still have absolutely no idea why anyone would want to own a hairy dog-smelling, rude cob?

[blitznbobs]

Cos when the revolution comes there's more meat on a cob than a TB...

[Shilasdair]

To paraphrase Morris 'Have nothing in your stable that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.'
Cobs are neither.

lol, you must be looking for a long thread. lol

 

[guido16]

People that own cobs and welshies are all partially sighted.

They must be.

 

[redcascade]

Are we really gonna do this again?
Anyway, looks aren't everything, and so long as it does the job that you want it to do what does it matter?

 

[Shilasdair]

They must be.

That's an interesting hypothesis, but I put it to you that if you were reliant on touch, without vision, you would be unable to differentiate a cob from, say, a bullock.
A bullock might be more likely to jump, though?

[smossy]

just a thought.....
first aid box for a TB
mars bars,energy. match sticks for eyes open on night stable visits.strong coffee for shock when vet bill arrives.
Animalintex
Cotton wool
bute,,,very big box
creams
lotions
potions
vet wrap
over reach boots
leg wraps
ear cream
leg cream
get the drift;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

first aid box for a cob
small tube of cream
bottle of wine to enjoy in those uninterrupted evenings with
holiday brochure with money saved from vets bills.
Downside...........
cobs go through shoes as we ride them more as they aren't on box rest for 90% of time.

shall we send you a nice all round (comfy round) cob for christmas lol

 

[Shilasdair]

Urgh no - unless you mean as a replacement turkey?

[guido16]

Shils, that is very true, although I think cobs have bigger (donkey like) ears so you may beable to tell them apart.

Welshies however have sticky out pucky eyes so you would, for example, beable to (just) tell the difference between a welshy and a hippo..
