[Mrs B]

ooppps I am sorry! OP original post?

No worries and yes Have fun on the forum!

No do NOT tell Shils!

Oh pretty please? x

 

[FanyDuChamp]

NO! Be told!

Anybody who writes like this is narrow minded and quite frankly just rude. If you want to ride a proper horse, come and ride my cob!

Never! People might see me.
Besides, I'd rather ride a buffalo. And it would probably have more chance of doing 'workers'.

sentient [ˈsɛntɪənt]
adj
having the power of sense perception or sensation; conscious
n
Rare a sentient person or thing
[from Latin sentiēns feeling, from sentīre to perceive]

I put it to you that if cobs really were 'sentient' beings, then they'd shift a bit quicker when their chubby riders do the pony club kicks that 'thwack' off the layer of fat on their ribs?

[Shilasdair]

There's no need they quite like the occasional shiatsu massage especially when it bruises their chubby riders ego!

I do think it's shocking when newbies like yourself have the audacity to post without reading the whole thread first.

More to the point, "dare.to.go.bare", are you advocating a nudist forum?

You and the daemon might have something in common

 

[JFTDWS]

Barefoot???? Without shoes not clothes!

Really? I presumed you intended bareback, but ended up suggesting nudity.

Barefoot is far less interesting

 

[Shilasdair]

Aw don't be shy.
I can just imagine you sitting typing starkers.
We have asked TFC (forum admin) for a separate sub forum for we nudists - and you'd be more than welcome to join?

[Mike007]

Brrrrr,this is no weather to go about starkers,unless you are a polar bear ......or a cob

 

[Fii]

I find it rather strange how your imagination works?

Exactly, Shils IS very strange...very strange indeed!!

But you have to understand, it is very hot where she is, and the screaming plays with her mind!!

It is nearly as loud as the screaming of riding instructors trying to get cobs to move out of halt.

Best not to contemplate that I think, you'll drive yourself mad

Some say she only comes out at night, some say H&H very own hellion is not of this world.
I like to think of her as H&H esoteric version of The Stig

That's not quite fair - they also have to scream at them once on the move...the famous shuffley death-shuffle of the cob-bed beast haunts the dreams and nightmares of many an instructor.

but does it do 45MPH... NOPE FAILLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[kippen64]

I live in Australia the land of the Thoroughbred and where many people who want happy plodders ride Standardbreds. If I ever get the opportunity to own a truly classy cob with enough looks to get to HOYS. With a head like a lady's maid and a bum like a cook, true substance (not just fat), masses of bone, straight action and a fabulous gallop, you will hear the joyful sobbing from the UK.

This is why people want to own cobs....

"The cob is a short legged stuffy type of small horse, stocky in appearance and capable of carrying a heavyweight rider. Its kind unflappable willing nature and impeccable manners coupled with its weight carrying ability, make it an ideal mount for a heavyweight elderly rider or indeed anyone who is not particularly athletic."
from http://www.localriding.com/cob-horse.html

Move over TBs... I've found my dream horse. It sounds like a match made in heaven.

(I had to Google.... we don't get cobs here, but inexplicably can buy bridles labelled as "cob" size, which causes some consternation in the local tackshop from time to time....)

But JH
He does 46 mph so there bl**dy there !!!

Well, ladies and gents, I'd just like to point out that this is apparently the number 1 thread in HHO this week too.
I suspect the journalist in charge of the list has fallen asleep.
Perhaps she owns a cob, and is constantly bored...all that walk and halt?

Again! And still HHO haven't given you an award as I suggested to TFC? So unfair!

Not really noooo. Had to look after a couple of cobs today. I feel proper poorly. All that hair gets right up yer nostrils. You need some sort of breathing apparatus just to get near 'em. Thank God, I mean, Gosh, I charged 'em for my troubles.

 

[Spiritedly]

Oh no....it's back

 

[Shilasdair]

Oh no....it's back

It never left. It remained there, nibbling at the corners of your subconscious like a cob under the fenceline for single blades of grass.
