Very cobbish

Our two cobs were let out of their paddock into the big sand school by the farmer, who then got his four farmer mates to help round them up

So they did it the usual way - shooing and flapping arms. I arrived just in time to witness it, and just had to watch from the sidelines. I couldn't help because I was peeing myself.

Apollo, the older cob, realised that when he ran bouncing at the farmer the farmer ran away in a panic. Farmer tried to jump the fence, hit the top bar and went through it, landing on his face in the next school.

He then chased all the farmer's other mates around the school, just taking pleasure in kicking up his feet close enough to make the guys run. Farmer's up here aren't built for running.

Young cob decided to try to make friends in a cobbish "Wot's in your jacket pocket?" kind of a way and his victim crawled out under the fence to get away.

The yard manager, who by that time I can swear had a wet patch on her jodhpurs, just walked in with a bucket and they followed her out calmly!

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Love it!!!
 
Naturally - lmao! :D you've cheered up a very boring evening at work, I'll be passing your jokes on to my cobs (neither called bob, although one nearly was) I'm sure they'll be appreciative :)
 
Why cobs?

My thoroughbred type ISH - multiple vet visits, self harming, trip to the vet hospital, vet's bills to frighten a banker out of his bonuses...never know what is next.

My 2 cobs...only one vets bill ever between them. And that was when he broke into the feedroom and ate half a bag of sugar beet pellets and nearly blew himself up.

'nuff said really.

how spiteful are you lot this forum is here for helping each other and fun not insulting people and their horses!!! you say cobs are lazy, fat, hairy but what are thoroughbreds and worm bloods? warmbloods are OFTEN bolshy, rude, unloving, spooky, green and generally inbred. thoroughbreds are OFTEN: exitable, bag of bones, spooky, bad mannered, and nut cases (by putting often not saying they all are!!!) my cob is loving, not very hairy, sharp, a very comfortable ride and not fat!!!! you can have your opinions but don't need to start being horrible, insulting and childish to people!!!

**EMERGENCY EMERGENCY** Urgent sense of humour transplant required!! :p

I think most people on this thread are taking the mickey out of the stereotypes, NOT cobs. Anyway, why would you care about what a bunch of people you don't know think of your horse they have never met? Especially when it's clear the comments are made in jest.

What irritates me is the fact that in order to "defend" cobs people, who in the same breath say we shouldn't insult one type of horse, make "horrible" comments about other breeds/types. Bit hypocritical, no? :p

Edit: the person who started the thread actually has a cob....should give you a clue re: the tone of the thread :D
