Meet the Cob Horse
cob types. Many draft crosses are cob type horses especially if they are under 16 hands. There is also a breed called the Norman Cob which originated in the Normandy region of France.
Showing Cobs
Cobs are used as pleasure riding horses in the sport of field hunting and in harness. When shown they often have their mane hogged or roached. This practice harks back to the time when it was more practical to keep the mane out of the way of reins and harness than fussing over braiding it. Leg feathering may be clipped. In the U K. cobs are shown in classes according to size and strict dress codes are required of the riders. Horses are shown on the flat and over jumps. In North America Gypsy Vanners and Welsh Cobs are shown but are left with natural manes and leg feathering.
