Welsh Cob Horses
The Welsh Cob Horse
The Welsh Cob is actually a pony. In fact, it is the largest sized
animal within the Welsh pony category See, there are actually four
types of ponies in the Welsh Pony family. Welsh cobs can not be under
13.2 hands high, but they are not allowed to be over 14.2 hands high.
This allows very little room for error on their growth stage. These are
the rules that have to be be met when it comes to registration of the
animal itself. For the most part, you are going to notice that Welsh
Cob horses have about the same personalities as other ponies in the
Welsh family. Today we are going to cover those personality traits a
little bit closer so you will know what to expect whenever you are
riding on one of theses animals. That is the thing to remember about
these animals. They can be used for riding, but they can also be used
to pull things as well. That is because of the pure size of them.
Although they can not pull big things, they can pull things carrying
about two people on them.
Like we already said, today the Welsh Cob is used mostly as a harness
driving animal. However, they can be used as saddle animals as well. No
matter what you choose to use them as, you will not have a problem out
of them. That is because these horses are super friendly and super easy
to train. That is a strong selling point of Welsh Cobs. They are easy
to take care of as well. However, they are super friendly animals, and
they like to be around people. This is not a horse that you can just
send out to the field and forget about it. This is one that you will
have to spend time with. It is going to most likely follow you around
wherever you go when you are out in the field. This is unlike some
horses that will try and get away from you, because they do not like
humans. People also say that Welsh Cob horses are smart. They are
always learning, and they like to watch whatever you do. They can also
be trained to be hunting horses, as well as jumping horses. The problem
is that these horses jump really good and have been known to jump out
of gates and other things like that.
Overall, these are great animals that people really seem to fall in
love with. They are fun to be around, and for the most part, are easy
to control. That is why they make great riding horses for kids.
However, normally you would go with a smaller Welsh pony than the Cob
as a riding horse for a child. As the kid grows up, the Cob is a type
of horse that they can use, and the horse will actually be able to
support the child as it grows up. That is another major selling point
to the Welsh Cob horses.
