Why do people want to own cobs?

Naturally, ester's comment about my sig was not tongue in cheek. She was upset because I'd said she was brown nosing.

we have a fat cob at our yard, we call him Belgain becasue he looks like a Belgian blue cow! :D His owner tries to hide the hairyness by shaving him but hes still a fat hairy cob underneath

if he was human he would be rab c nesbitt!

I find cobs quite offensive! I dont have a favourite type, I just dislike cobs - sorry cob lovers :D

Presume being a yard manager you wouldn't have cobs on your yard then?

My thoughts exactly. It's obvious boring because it's not in agreement with GF.

its the personal attacks and ranting thats boring! If you dont agree with my opinion I dont really care! I dont like cobs, end of story, not amount of justifying it will make me change my mind, just stop being rude to each other and dont make this personal! :D
 
I'll never understand how someone can say they don't like a particular breed of horse, when all are individuals and should be approached as so. Just goes to show who the narrow-minded amongst us are, and who believes in stereotypes i suppose. You can't be an effective horserider if you judge a horse before you've even sat on them.

Actually, it's you that's boring. Who made you ruler of all? You're allowed to be rude to every cob owner on this forum yet you expect when you say 'just stop being rude to each other' we will just obey?
You can hypocrite to your CV, having the cheek to call me rude?! And I don't care how personally you take that, you're damn rude and have been from the beginning, so I'm just defending your 'attack', so to speak.

I really don't care if you like cobs or not, it's your manner, your front and your lack of tact that does it for me. As I said, you (not just you) lower the tone of the forum.

ETA: Sorry I forgot to smile....
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And Shils, yes, sometimes, we are... :D :D :D :D

I dont own one and I take offence at the statements!!!

i agree with this

hey I object to that.... I judge EVERY horse before I get on it, including the ones stood on their back legs, breathing fire, after they've bitten me - that'd be the ones I don't get on! ;-)

I've worked with many horses who are terrors on the ground, but absolutely wonderful to ride. I even own one ;)
 
i dont mind cobs - good laugh, i have had cobs and loved them and done allsorts with them - i do prefer shorter stride - cant do huge striding warmbloods - but thats cos of my back injury.
My current horse is below - so is she classed as cob???? 15.3hh IDxTB

I own an Oldenburg gelding and while I love him to bits, I know many cobs that are much better. Because of his pure breeding, my Monty has weakened back legs that mean he cannot take part in dressage or jumping as it causes too much stress.
Does that not prove that cobs are just as good as other horses? They're better than my warmblood....
