It's a very old joke thread E&P, I think Shils even owns a cob herself.
Why do people want to own cobs?

Thinks the luddites had a point...
Oh they're very useful......for demolition especially and eating those scraggy hay sweepings that you don't want to throw away but no decent equine will eat

Well.
Three holes in the ground. Useful to fill up with the copious piles of elephantine-sized dung cobs produce ...
When does this thread qualify for a telegram from Her Majesty?

Good for scaring moles away from your paddock as they clump across the ground ?

Don't be ridiculous. You cant take a cob hunting! It wouldn't keep up with the proper horses!

Put a few carrots in the pocket of someone who'll be up near the front and they'll do their best...

I have a black and white cob. I bought her so she could roll in her poo every night and make all the other horses on the yard look better.

Just leave the feed room door open and one will appear
Or just rustle a random bag. Just don't get in the way if they canter towards you. Co-ordination isn't their strong point.

Someone is obviously bored again!
I have a cob because Im a novice rider and have only just learnt to trot, so a cob is appropriate!
See .
super picture!Cobs are sweet, sturdy and have far fewer health problems than MANY warm/fullbloods.

Come to think of it, your advice could apply to a few on here too!
Hands up, who's a cob then?

If you're holding a rustling bag they'll be aiming for you, far too risky imo. Imagine the shame of being mowed down by a cob...

I'll own up to that one. If I was equine I'd have to be muzzled for my own good.
In fact, maybe a muzzle is an idea for me as a human.

I am a cob I confess. I can spot a sticky bun at 100 paces.
Also years ago friends and I had a "who do you think your horse would be off telly" discussion. My then cob mare was designated as Hilda Ogden, with rollers and a fag

Two birds with one stone - I could hose him down near the veggie patch and fertilise it before I returned him to you. 1001 uses for a cob!

You see, once you've owned a Defender for 20 years, you realise only a cob will cope in all weathers "Do you need a rug mate?" "nah, I'm 'ard"

Do you have to teach them to be mole chasers or is it just because mine is a sect d cob so can't do it. I have moles everywhere.

It's the galloping about in the night that does it!
Sect d might not be hefty enough for mole clearance.

Ah that explains it, he NEVER gallops unless it's towards a feed bucket.

I'm impressed that any cob's able to gallop. All those that I've seen only seem able to offer a clumsy and awkward canter, at best and whilst tripping over their own feet with the rider doing their level best to stay in touch and on board.

We've never had moles so obviously the cobs are doing their job. There is a rat somewhere in the stables but as the cobs are well 'ard and live out 24/7 they don't need to go in there. Thinking about it though ... are cobs scared of mice ........ just like elephants ......?

You would be surprised how fast if not elegant they can be when there is a bucket at the end of it.
