I can't believe it's being constantly ressurected (sp!)
Shils, it must be considered an art form by now, or an act of god

You'd think with the current recession, and decent horses going cheap, that people would upgrade to a TB/WB, wouldn't you?

I love cobs and do not go for bigger horses, I have ridden warmbloods and TB's and I prefer my little cobs thankyou
I love the fact they are hairy, they are not all fat and lazy, common misconception of which I am positive you are aware, you trouble maker you!
After reading 50 pages, and then skipping to the last one. (nearly my bed time)
I want to know where everyone gets there angel cobs from? Mine behaves like a lot of the afore mentioned TBs and WBs.
Maybe he's really an ISH or ID X in disguise??
He loves going fast at every opportunity, loves jumping everything as huge as possible. He has a blatant disregard for suggestions, requests, orders and demands.
He can do canter pirouettes, when he is so inclined. He can do a great capriole - when I've told him "No, we're not jumping that!"
However, the gypsy cob (I am allowed to call him that now?) comes to the surface as he is excellent at bombing up off the field bareback with, dare I say it, two people on him!
I'm waiting to be accused of horse abuse, after all, we must have added up to 15 stone, and he's only 14.3hh
all in good humour.
have a 6th drop and burn gear (u cob owners know what I'm talking about!)I know...
Nice to see this thread has surfaced again.You'd think with the current recession, and decent horses going cheap, that people would upgrade to a TB/WB, wouldn't you?

I will never understand it.
They are fat, lazy, hairier than Bigfoot, and usually bad tempered.
Their paces are so stilted, that they look as though they've had their legs tied together, which gives the rider a nasty jolty ride.
I suppose I can understand riding schools having them, for the scaredy novices, but once you can rise to the trot, surely you'd buy a decent blood horse, or at least a Warmblood?
Your thoughts?

Aaaaaaannnnnnd.... WB's are half 'cobs' anyway....

OMG I posted on here, when this thread had only just been started and my ancient old cob was still alive. He passed away in May, but he'd had a super life and lived to an ancient age. Bless.
Sorry Mt about your cob.

It's OK. It's life.
We'd had him 26 years and he was 33. He was a shire cross so quite a big horse, and his knees and joints were becoming increasingly arthritic and it got to a point where painkillers were not giving him enough relief. The week I decided to do it, I knew it was the right time. He was a one in a million horse and he was well loved. I always wanted to let him go before he began to suffer and I did that
