Why do people want to own cobs?

All piebald cob owners could join Cobs on Tour! Bet we'd get turned away from a lot of campsites though...

Some friends and I stayed in a campsite that had horses loose in the field once. They were all beautiful horse horses, with just one cob. For the most part they ignored us, but the cob was sure we had food in the tents (clever cob). She kept on sticking her head in looking for the it. Despite having feet the size of some of the smaller tents she was fairly nimble, and some how managed to negotiate the guylines, fire pits ect. Not so her friend the dumb TB that crashed through everything in a heart stopping manner.

All I can say is that if the HHO cob cavalcade thundered up to my campsite I'd invoke H&S!

I'm GUTTED not to be able to, but cattle are subject to movement restrictions since foot and mouth. There's lots of ways round the disease spreading thing in my eyes, but DEFRA won't entertain it for one millisecond :'( I am planning some long distance bovine travel, but it'll have to be abroad....which has to wait til my children are a bit older really.
 
I'm starting to wonder why I thought a cob was a good idea - nearly a month into the search for an affordable XXW saddle and I'm losing the will to live.

She's quite good sometimes tho...

Y'alright there, love?!
 
Wow this is a long thread. Got to page 54 then my eyes went fuzzy. Will add my bit anyway....

I have had many different horses and have ridden and owned Tbs/ warmbloods/ sports horses/ miscellaneous skinny things all of which were beautiful, scatty, flashy, talented and pretty. However my heart belongs (and always will) to a grumpy, orange, mareish, 'ugly' chubby cob who looks like a sausage dog cos her legs are so short and her backs so long. She'll never be a show horse or a top competition animal. What she will be is a fun saint who will do novice dressage, low level BSJA, working hunter classes, look after my 3 year old niece and be a challenge for me after 10 years of ownership. Shes a member of the family in a way no flashy warmblood could ever be :)
 
Okay, having read to page 120 in the last hour I now feel like a bit of a tit for my 'oh so serious' post. I should have made a silly jokey comment. Ah well. This thread is hilarious :D
