dislking cobs is one thing, saying they are offensive, ugly, fat, and should be slaughtered on a public forum is quite another
Ester, you own a cob don't you?? Brown nosing ring leaders is such an unattractive habit.
If showing isn't a proper competition, I challenge you to stick your horses in a qualifier and see how they do...
Of course, our cobs need no preparation or training whatsoever for showing, so no I guess it can't be a proper competition. And no, no 'performance' necessary, in fact, I might not bother schooling this year. Of course there is much more skill involved in dressage, where you have to conentrate hard to ensure you stop and start and the right markers and keep your horses head as close to it's chest as possible... and in xc and sj where you have to flap as hard as you can to get your horse to throw itself over xc and sj fences... silly me. I must pay more attention in future.
Thank you for the education. It was set to be such a dull evening.
*rolls eyes*
maybe you should think before you type so you dont offend lots of people, but maybe you just dont care
I still dont like cobs
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?

DIS IS ME ON MA COB AYEEEE!
showing is about production. schooling and lots more prep. dressage is about schooling, precision, athletiscism. In some ways they are not so different, in other ways they are very different. Dresage is not about pinning head to horses chest. Pot..kettle.. sig....... (and no I don't normally say things like that!)
and flapping ...... thats why spurs were invented surely?
soph...... everyone is entitled to their opinions I have given mine nowt to do with anyone else thank you so I find your comment rather unnecessary.
