Why do people want to own cobs?

[Cinnamontoast]

I have experienced first hand the descent from TB to WB to LW cob (Criollo) I'm not even ashamed

Hola, stranger! Where have you been?!

I believe the thread should be titled
"Why am I a massive c u next Tuesday ?" Instead.
Answers on a postcard (not that I really care though!)


I've always loved the stockier horse, leg in each corner type. I love cobs because they're versatile , usually have a leg in each corner, and look rather magnificent with feathers flying doing dressage.

I'd show you my stunner of a cob but you'd just be rude about him so can't be arsed. BTW he's not fat. Or cow coloured.

Shils! Shils! You caught another one! Come quick! ?

I rather think you missed the intended irony and the fact that the OP owns a cob, as do many of us on the thread.

*Waits to see if poster gets an infraction from a bot*

Hola, stranger! Where have you been?!

*waves* Well, I went and bought a cob, for a start! LOL. Otherwise much the usual stuff, but not on HHO

 

[PapaFrita]

Is that because you descended from the WB rather more often than is sensible for a woman of your age?

LOL!!! WELL, technically, LC is only HALF wb, and I've only fallen off F twice (once startled by a cow where it shouldn't have been, then, more shamingly, dislodged by the SHOWJUMPER being horrified at being asked to TROT over a pole on the ground.... Not my finest hour) I've only had the cob for 3 months, so there is still time...
I agree I am dislodged FAR more often than is sensible at my age

The descent being in the size of vet bills?

Unless you get a cob who must have been a TB in a previous life and still clings on to the ‘must bankrupt owner’ gene. Current vet bill tally is sitting just over the £2k mark.

Definitely a TB in a cob suit. Check for zippers behind the elbows.

That is not a 'descent' that is an 'ascent'

The best way to reduce eating is to ride all day(works for rider too), though mine is still pretty skilled at grabbing hedges for a snack even at a speedy trot.

Sadly, I bought my new one just as he finished box rest for Lami so is on restricted everything, including exercise.

I am getting the exercise though, 6 hay nets a day, all soaked. Plus the excessive workout keeping the coat and feather in order.

Oh, and smiling non stop.

They must work harder at irony than.

Oh come on! This tongue in cheek thread has been running for years - it's a much loved HHO classic. Your aggressive response was uncalled for and not nice to read.

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Or maybe you could work harder at gaining a sense of humour?

Omg! *Removes PapaFrita from followed list* ??

 

[cobgoblin]

Yep, caught another one!

I do not.

I have to say i hope this is tongue in cheek!!

I know of several cobs who are light to the leg and one especially that has a natural flair for dressage and literally floats along the ground.

Sweeping statements such as above I think are designed to irritate and provoke unless people know they are not serious!!

Yes I’m sure you are winding people
up and don’t mean harm but people love their horses and can be very protective, they may take this the wrong way. I’ve seen cobs win dressage competitions, and I think they look lovely both in their natural state and when they are groomed, clipped and plaited up. Check out the photo, beautiful and certainly not lazy!! ?

Best answer yet SU

Love it ?

 

[Shilasdair]

Welcome to the forum, Darcy.
I think you'll find you are about 3300 posts behind (yes, really). And as the first set were posted a decade ago, we've all forgotten what you are agreeing with/liking.

Two things I'll never be able to share with you -my dick pics and a photo of 'my' cob.

Pretty good cob diet. Make sure you don't put anything in them though.

 

[Auslander]

Yeah Yeah - we all know you have both

 

[Gloi]

Her cob must have eaten it.

What about dick pics of your cob?

 

[Cinnamontoast]

I do not.

I do not trust daemons. They lie.

Yeah Yeah - we all know you have both

PMSL! ?

Omg, I’m dying! ? You’re gonna get an infraction!

Had that horse spotted a feed bucket?

Not sure it's moving fast enough for that

Oh did somebody say they were going to ride it then, so it's running away?

 

[Shilasdair]

I certainly have the food obsession and the weight gaining properties!
