Why do people want to own cobs?

Come on, come on, we all know cobs are Land Rover Defenders, not Range Rovers - happy to carry on even though they are 76 years old and have various bits hanging off, the driver's asleep and the last time they were clean was in about 1952.

It is obviously not a cob. It is physically impossible for a cob to put its chin on its chest. You need a warmblood or a TB to do rollkur properly.

I beg to differ.
With a big enough coffin shaped head, and a short thick neck, most cobs lean on their own chests (when they're not deadening the rider's hands by their incessant leaning).

Someone is obviously bored again!

I have a cob because I’m a novice rider and have only just learnt to trot, so a cob is appropriate!

I love how much fun your having! X
 
I have a cob that can do Rolkur and loves it.


Stick a carrot on his chest and he can contort himself anyway you like. Tuck a carrot in his girth..easy.
What a talent he has. I'm so proud. He's taught Anky everything she knows.
 
I don't own a cob, my cob owns me. What would I do for a full time servant like he has got. They pretend to be all thick and docile while secretly taking over with demands for food, attention, room cleaning personal grooming and such.

(OK I just thought this thread needed a quick blast of fresh air its nearly 5 months since its had any attention!)
 
Mine has started a bromance with his friend, also a cob. I'm horrified :mad3: Could he not at least have fallen for the proper horses in his field, like the big warmblood? :frown3:

I just bought one. Nobody wanted her because she's old and ugly. :( She's only 16 though and not a plod at all...dunno what they were on about! :D She does have a massive head though.
 
No I didn't do any bone measuring, just tried her out and thought 'yep'. Plan is to ride her round Britain! Something I've always wanted to do and she is as bombproof as they come, so....
