The Cob Horse

The Cob horse has that sort of sweet, gentle giant look that makes you love them at first sight. They are sturdy, calm and willing to the very end. It is a real gentleman of a horse and will do anything to please its rider.

There is no proper way to breed a Cob, but the best Cob horses appear when you use Irish Draught and Thoroughbred blood. These Cob horses tend to make very good hunters.

The Cob horse is very strong. A lightweight Cob horse can carry an 89kg or 196lb person and heavier Cob horses can hold up even more than that! And because of their calm, peaceful nature the rider will have no worries about falling off!

Cob horses stand around 15.3 hands and can be any solid colour. They are handsome and look sort of like a stuffed toy horse that’s had a very close clip by a child who is rather handy with the scissors.
