Why do people want to own cobs?

In the interests of reaching 1000:

Why would people not want to own a cob? Because they fancy their vet, farrier, physio, bank manager, A&E doctor (delete as appropriate) and want to see them a lot!

I know its a generalization and not all TB's cost 1000's in vets bills, hard feed and shoeing every year and put their owners in hospital, but generalizations do seem to be the point of this thread...

Well my last horse ( a TB ) certainly did all the above ;)

I now have a Haffie mare that is obviously not actually a cob but certainly more cob than TB. She is a jumpy flighty girl so still not a novice ride, but is much much cheaper and a lot more honest than my TB was.
 
Well I am proud to own a coloured partial hairy cob whose handsome,loving and a one person boy.He does not plod,. He has his own personality and is quite funny to watch. I wouldnt go back to part arabs or TB no thanks.
I like section Ds too.

XL size headcollar, 7ft 3 rugs etc? Surely if it doesn't fit into standard sized equipment it shouldn't be allowed to be classed as a sports horse? :D

*visions of the starting gates at XC events having to be widened for Shills, who could only have got her horse there with 2 police escorts to one massive cattle lorry, you know the sort, with "caution, wide load" signs* ;) :p

Pah! If its not a cob, its not a sports horse.

I think the horse in question should be refered to as a mongrel, or if u wont to b posh, cross-breed :p
 
I'm going to use the continuing life of this thread as an excuse to post (another) picture of my mongrel.

If I'm feeling brave I'll take a pic of him tomorrow with his wooly leg warmers (unclipped feathers) and trojan horse like mane being the 'around the yard thug' that he is when not doing ballet. :D

#949 - come on, we're getting there!

Anyone got any good cob jokes?

Here's one for starters.

Q.What are cob's favourite biscuits?
A. Cobnobs!
:D
 
Q: What is Black, White, Black, White, Black, White, Black, White?
A: A cob who fell asleep at the top of a hill

:D

errr.... *runs off quick, I posted this before I saw Roast Spud's picture, and now it looks like I'm mocking the headless cob!*
 
Two corn on the cob are sitting in the field one day, ripening.

One turns to the other and says: "Ear, why don't you tell any jokes any more?" The second one replies "You think I'm too corny"

:D
 
I'm beginning to think that my masterpieces aren't being appreciated :(

However, I am enjoying myself, so I shall continue :D

Q: Why did the skint farmer fix his fence by jamming 4 cobs into the hole?
A: Because his NEIGHbour had told him to COBble together some fencing.

(nb this one was so awful, I felt the need to highlight the puns ;) )
 
Q:What is fat, round, has a hairy chin, is clumsy, bargy, rude, untrainable, inelegant, farts a lot and eats you out of house and home?

A: Your mother-in-law

:D
