Why do people want to own cobs?

Because they don't fall over in the trailer just because you expected them to travel tacked up. #stressful evening going nowhere. #cobs rule.

Ooh, ouch! How your posh boy is OK, FW.

My cob is broken - she has no interest in her hard feed. Even with a tiny bit a sugarbeet added she'll give it a cursory munch and then ignore it! It's not even much food, just Pro Earth Pro Hoof and some micronised linseed. Brat!

Yes he's ok thanks for asking :) but I had to unload him and daughter's pony (who is wired to the moon when anything out of the ordinary happens!!) at a junction in the village with some nice bloke coming to give me horse advice "well hen when they get a fleg I know what they're like", in the dark, untack him and reload him where upon he was suddenly able to stand up fine and travel home. Frightening at the time and not exactly the evening we had planned.

My cob isn't very greedy at all. Nothing like the aforementioned warmblood (stops myself from swapping warm for something beginning with d!!!)
 
 
I love this time of year when the Spring grass is coming through. This means all those unsightly cobs are kept inside Because they balloon and get laminitis at the meer mention of the phrase "spring grass".

Therefore I don't have to see them :D

The word 'Well' generally refers to condition which mostly, being kindly, refers to fat content. Is anyone, horse or owner prepared to own up?

Own up to having wintered well? Yes, me I suppose - the diet says it all :( On the bright side though, at least I don't own a cob :D
 
I own a cob beacause: she is very cute, she can live on thin air, she doesn't need rugging, she has beautiful feathers and a wonderful moustache. As for people who have said all cobs are novice plods, well if I sold her as that I'd be breaking the trade descriptions act.��
 
Sounds like you have lots of money to spend on posh warmbloods and dont understand that some people want a hacker that they can hunt and do a few comps,
