This is the second longest thread in New Lounge, the longest one was the Parelli / Catwalk thread. Maybe we should start a thread about doing Parelli with cobs? That might break all the records. :D

Of course there are threads in Soapbox that are much longer - no doubt reflecting the higher intellectual standards in Soapbox. :D

I can't reach high interlektual standards without a box to stand on...Can I borrow yours please IAAC?
 
Ah, now then Shils, Happy Birthday to your thread ;)

You had better stay away from my neck of the woods, as the cob is now out naked :eek:, his feathers are massive, and his mane is almost 3 feet long. Tail just off the floor. It was all blowing furiously in the wind as he came cantering up the field.

You would pass out.

I must admit, the concept did trouble me.

Maybe cobs are wardrobe shaped flat packs with lots of bubble-wrap... And I do mean lots...

Maybe... you know those pop-up items of furniture things you get at ikea? Yeah, I could see how that works. Lift this tab here, insert end of bubble wrap there, wrap ad nauseum...
 
In fact he was sooooooooooooo hairy this winter, I have a wheelbarrow full of black and white hair in the stable, from using that metal thingy to get it all out, and I'm afraid it may start to overflow if much more comes out.

Never seen hair like it. And hubs has to take piriton just be near either of us (true btw). None of this "clipped to within and inch of the saddle line" for us :p

So that's why Shilasdair doesn't like cobs: she just hasn't figured out yet how to make them pop up. :rolleyes: She probably doesn't read the instructions. Hmm ... maybe she is a man after all? :confused::D
 
Shils, so are you not satisfied ? that cobs have been utterly and unforgiveably ripped apart , that the nation has sought to defend them, and yet they are still mecilessly being turned into ikea furniture (altho better than mfi admittedly).

That the loyal beast that has been part of this country for ever, that has got man to where is he today by toiling and slaving, has been forever condemned to ridicule via this HHO thread ?

I tell ye now, that I believe the cob will toil on, that he will not surrender (unless a bucket of coarse mix is strategically placed, obviously), that he will go on and out jump the designer horses, will lead the country out of the recession, and will forever be in EVERY man's heart as the backbone of this nation, the one true and dependable living being. The Great Big Bloody British Cob.

Take that ;)

I think you are so insensitive and horrible, you cobbist. My cob Rolo is aborable and you think all cobs are big fat and lazy? My 14.1 cob can jump a 3 foot 9 course and does BE 100 he was in the pony club dressage team and needs no encouragement to make him go faster :p
 
Why do people want to own cobs? Because if they are like my yearling cob they are the most cuddly wonderful superhorse in the entire world,and if they are like our MFH hunting cob then they are dependable,safe,gorgeous,beautiful,reliable and just wonderful to be around.
