You coward, Jhoward! (Hey! I'm a poet...)

I bet you a bag of pasture mix you first typed BUM in that list and took it out! :D *hides from Shils*
 
People want to own cobs cause they're fluffy, cuddly, fun, friendly, and don't have high vet bills or bad tempers like hot headed spindly legged thouroughbreds :P

This has made me giggle.

My cob hairiest heavy horse in our posh village, lived out in all that snow unrugged(stands out in driving rain despite having barn and stable, yep you could say stupid). Great character, personality. Isnt bandaged up to the hilt or wearing lots of accessories to make it look the part.

Covered in lots of mud at any opportunity(keeps flies down in summer and warm in winter, yes just like an elephant).

Lives out all year round just like a real horse should, is a right character.Not impressed or fazed by the young mad warmblood in the next trashed devoured post and rail fenced field who is released for a few hours daily for a spell of normal horse behaviour and then tucked back into its stable. Cob has no frustrations observed.

I know which horse has had less problems over its 22 years, equine vet has always told me he is living a real horses life. Equine dentist remarked excellent teeth can tell he lives out munching as he should do

So get off your high horse and drink your milk
 
Is it wrong to bejazzle one's cob a la essex style???

Can you point me in the direction of an approved quilified cobbijazzle practitioner???

i think cobs are lovely for beginners, nervous people etc. and they are very cute and are a lot less accident prone than the lighter ones but in fairness you dont see that many international showjumping cobs or international eventers either...i'm not that familiar with dressage competition but i have watched a few prix st georges (I think thats what their called lol) and i'm afraid to say their were no cobs. Sure you may see they odd one do good at national level but after that...erm no. dont get me wrong i think their lovely but for top level at the above disciplines i mentioned you will probably have to go for something lighter.
