Why do people want to own cobs?

[Beausmate]

But they all use a girth size the same as your user name

Not quite, Mike007. The zero is on the wrong end.

And that's in inches.

I am new on here and own a cob, this thread is just brilliant!! Made my day!!

OMG, who has broken up from school already?! Lucky mare! I can't believe I was actually working and missed this! Swizz, frankly. I might show my thing heaving himself over a jump later, the earth shook as he thundered into it and hoicked himself over, ground cracked and practically swallowed him up the hole he made was so massive!



Sorry, bit rubbish, I was too scared of falling into the resultant hole to actually get on board

It can't really be a cob if it actually took off.
Have you got him driving yet?

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Don't go nuts at the breeching, it was far too loose, I know, this is from years ago. I do wonder if it's feasible to strat driving round where he's stabled. Dunno. OH just looked at me like I was MENTAL when I mentioned maybe backing him to drive.

Seconded! Hi-five cool newbie

CT, that's pretty cool. I half fancy teaching Dae to drive... Maybe Fergs too and have a pair. Trials look super fun!

 

[Goldenstar]

Driving is excellent fun and a suitable job for cobs of all sizes and other horses too.
I have to report that my cob has been hanging around with sport horse types too much he is currently laid up having had an incisor tooth removed last week .
He's very sorry for himself mainly because it slows down his feeding .
needing vets visits every other day is a sport horse trait .

 

[Goldenstar]

Perhaps he's a sports cob after all.

I am middle aged with a very broad back and a daft sense of humour,thats why I ride a cob,said cob is 4 going on 40, I am 40+ going on 4

 

[Zero00000]

'Cos I always wanted an Ox but could never find one... settled for a cob

 

[sodapop]

I love my cob because no matter how much cake I eat his bum is always bigger than mine and his legs will always be hairier than mine- even in winter

 

[sodapop]

... and don't even get me started on which one of us has the best beard

 

[evehardwick]

Cobs are brilliant, I find their personalities are alot more bold than others, however I do like to ride warmbloods etc because they're easier to get moving

 

[tessybear]

After mine stood on my toes to get to food tonight I am askin myself this question brilliant thread !!

 

[Pedantic]

Maybe they dont like poncy thin legged stick insect breeds which go lame treading on an ant.

 

[JackAT]

Was down at a plant hire place earlier today...asked to rent a bulldozer. "Times are tight you know" came the reply from the burly chap behind the counter.

He then proceeded to show me his latest model, informing me that it was "cheap to buy, easy to maintain, and can still go through 3 feet of solid concrete from a standstill!"













Only catch was that there had to be a carrot on the other side.

In honour of celebrating the birth of 'She Who Has Scales', let this be a little bump of the thread/gift that keeps on giving

So...

Cobs are stupid. And fat. Mostly stupid.

 

[JFTDWS]

Cobs are ugly and can't jump more than a pole on the floor. Ghastly, lazy animals who belong in a burger!

You could make more than one burger from the fatty rumps on a cob

 

[numptynoelle]

Thinking cobs would be handy for one of those delectable rotating poles of 'meat' in kebab shops

They're dead easy to catch, being so slow and lumbering...

Brilliant idea - and it's put in my mind exactly why Shils isn't online...


She's at a COB ROAST!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Does that come in a bun with stuffing and apple sauce?

 

[JFTDWS]

Yep, it's a heart attack in a bun - all that flabby cobby flesh!

 

[Shilasdair]

Just thought I'd empty the nets - there are some fine fat fish floundering in there.

 

[DanceswithCows]

Dude, sorry you had to settle! Commiserations my friend

 

[tallyho!]

Ooh, you're at risk of offending the Europeans there JFTD... I think we're the only country that "rides" cobs aren't we? Most other union members eat them as part of a healthy diet.

Well - seeing as it seems to be the night of the epic thread resurrection...
