Oh gawd Shils, how many times???? I've told you, it's when people get too fat to ride a pony, they get promoted to ridin' a cob. You don't actually have to own one I don't fink coz at the riding school you see loads of people get promoted to the same cob and I don't fink anyone owns it.

Right, off to ride me cob that I owns, coz I brokes me pony.

See ya later.

I think cobs a great

HOWEVER, I've seen a lot of nervous novices go out and buy cobs, because it is the done thing, and actually cobs can be very foreward, strong and, dare I say it, pig headed So just like people say that all thoroughbreds are mad, and that is simply not true, don't believe them when they say that all cobs are bombproof plods!

 

[Cuppatea]

well, i was going to write something ratgher naughty about (corn on the) cobs ..... but, its not past the watershed yet so i'd best not.....

They do it purely to annoy you.

In the three centuries that this thread has been running for I still haven't figured out the answer....

 

[Shilasdair]

Quick!
Get a paramedic!
I think this thread is going into a slow decline.
And it still hasn't made it into HHO's top ten threads list.

RIP, cob thread.

Don't cry, IAAC! I'm sure it will be resurrected as something like:

"Why do people want to own TB's? Useless, talentless beasts, they are.... Stupid, too, unless you own a carrot stick."

 

[Cadfael&Coffee]

Nooooooooooooo

Quick - someone DO SOMETHING!

Can we do a transplant from another thread? If we keep this one on ice until a suitable donor-thread is located, we might just save her, Shils...

 

[I_am_a_cucumber]

Or maybe we should just be kind and finish it off.

 

[Queenbee87]

Cobs are a necessary evil- they remind us how much better our non-cob horses are

Is that enough to save it??

I keep seeing this thread but have never bothered to read it as I.thought it wad a stupid question.
I Hope its a mickey taking as if not its very nasty.
I'm not a cob person myself but lots of people are, they make great partners for lots of people.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Phew, we've got a pulse!

Yay a pulse.
I am glad you agree that cobs are unsuitable once you have learned to rise to the trot, and kick til you hear the ribs thump.

Maybe a bit of bait will help.

Is it wrong that the more cross some people get (and have got) throughout this thread, the funnier Ive found it????

(and I DO like cobs !!)

We clipped Bob 3 weeks ago and already he is covered in 3/4 inch cat hairs .Does this make him a fat lazy cob?
