Fais pas chier!
Yay a pulse.
I am glad you agree that cobs are unsuitable once you have learned to rise to the trot, and kick til you hear the ribs thump.

Yes. It does. Actually.
Why do people want to own cobs?

Oh thank god. I own a cob ,not a 17.2 hh lunatic who will jump anything he happens to be pointing at.I shall surprise him tomorrow by giving him a hearty kick in the ribs,when he least expects it.Just to show him that I am in touch with his inner self.

Lol!!!
Do let us know know how you get on with your cob- taming
If he bucks/ protests he's obviously just being obstinate, so kick him again to show that you won't be shown up by a cob
tallyho!
Following a strict mediterranean diet...

Funny you you say this!!! Yesterday I did just this... and then, in the afternoon, he wouldn't let me do it again. Like, not even catch him to put all the gear on. What am I doing wrong??? Please help.

Well you see that's cause all cobs are stubborn, so if you out wit them once (granted that's not too difficult
) then the best option is to pretend that they're mule- like and run away as fast as their stubby little legs will take them Next time you go up, his poor little brain will have completely forgotten, so you can give him another kick then, to tell him off for being so naughty and cob like yesterday
(Nb I have nothing against mules, in fact it is well known that they are prettier and more willing beasts than any cob, even the most obstinate if mules is more willing than a cob. Fact. )

Quick!
Get a paramedic!
I think this thread is going into a slow decline.
And it still hasn't made it into HHO's top ten threads list.

I know what would revive it....

You must keep your horse in a stable in side reins. It is the only hope.

Why do people want to own cobs? For showjumping, naturally...

It's wonky I'm afraid :-/ and it's being obstinate so I'm guessing the movement is just as bad 
I wouldn't breed from it, unless you want a cob

Personally I would just club it to death and get a TB
You'll certainly never get around badminton with it!! (except maybe in your pocket)

Cuppatea, your cob's conformation is rather downhill.
Large amounts of boiling water always helps to make any cob more palatable.
The hairy bits always stick in your teeth too

Yes you should, and you should sit in the corner whilst you do it and think about what you've done and what a naughty girl you've been

I did XC training yesterday but wimped out of alot of the jumps because I'm a big girlie middleaged scaredy cat...so my friends 16 year old fearless skinny legged rides gorgeously beautiful huge scoopy things said she'd take my cob round the course (cos he was leaping, shaking and EXTREAMLY frustrated by me not allowing him to go!!).
She came back after grinning from ear to ear with shouts 'GOOD GOD that was amazing and he's amazing and he's so STRONG..but amazing!!!' and a small aside...'I'd whip that mane off though..that stupid sweat covered plait kept hitting me in the face!!'
Hee hee serves her right for showing me up.

Started on the 29th March 2010 (unless I am reading the dates wrong which is entirely possible) and still being updated and resurected at 177 pages. I am impressed.
Happy Birthday for yesterday to Shil's slightly offensive and highly entertaining thread.

Oh dear
Such a narrow minded person!! Can your 'blood horse or warmblood' gain over 75% in a novice dressage test, was a prolific winning show cob, working cob, open working hunter, hunter, won le trec, showjumping, long distance riding
You can buy a blood horse or warmblood for next to nothing you couldnt even imagine owning a cob like Rosie O'Grady
Thankfully I also have her daughter and granddaughter, aren't I the lucky one!!!
P.S. It was only last weekend at the age of 20 that she won these dressage classes beating your posh warmbloods etc hee hee - Last 8 dressage tests with scores of over 75%
