I think there's been a bit of "not read the whole thread but..." going on here...
I will never understand it.
They are fat, lazy, hairier than Bigfoot, and usually bad tempered.
Their paces are so stilted, that they look as though they've had their legs tied together, which gives the rider a nasty jolty ride.
I suppose I can understand riding schools having them, for the scaredy novices, but once you can rise to the trot, surely you'd buy a decent blood horse, or at least a Warmblood?
Your thoughts?

Firstly, I'd rather not 'watch' anything cob-related; I value my eyeballs.
Secondly, they aren't a breed (unless you mean Welsh Section C and Ds which I exempt from my cob-hating vitriol).
Thirdly I would love to see a cob 'in action' - but despite observing closely, they never seem to move (except the jaws which constantly do).

PS Newbies are indeed scrumptious.

A: Your mother-in-law
