welsh cobs

[exvet]

Lovely exa They are :yes:

Here are some more pics, not of all of mine but a few.

This is Cariad Cosmopolitan. She was a CDE character and is now my daughter’s dressage mount (though it’s Mom riding here :winkgrin:)

No recent pictures (might get more today) but here is my stallion, now 4, Gallod Dyfrig. These are from last year.

He is as sweet as they come

Now here are a couple bred by Tamara, one is out of my former mare (now Tamara’s). The “yeller colt”, Pro A Dawnsyr is a TB x welsh cob (pic of him as a 2 year old) and now an awesome trail and gymkhana character. The bay colt (purebred section D), Pro A Myrrdin, is going to be MY upcoming dressage campaigner :yes:

And here are a couple more of Desert Moon Champignon, competing 4th level at a couple of different schooling shows. He scored 63 and some change at the last big recognized show at 4th level. Not too shabby if I do say so myself for a thick-necked, sway back, very downhill critter but a typical welsh cob heart.

Mine are all ride and drive. The majority have piddled around doing ridden dressage competitions (and done reasonably well) and because that helps as part of their schooling for higher level carriage driving.

Mine are/have been from Nebo, Trevallion, Maxwell and Paith lines in the main.

Thomas, I don’t know about you, but my girl is an absolute wimp when it comes to cold, wet weather. [/QUOTE] Mine are out unrugged during the winter and happy to be outside. (apart from a couple of welsh section A mountain ponies who seem to not appreciate what they are supposed to be!)

But she lives off air when she’s out in the field, thus I have her permanently dry lotted.
Only from February to January :winkgrin:

Then we also live in the “south”, I think she forgot about Oregon winters.

Lisa, you’ll have to let me know whenever you start breeding your stallion, I’d be one of the first to sign up for a baby.

Lisa, you’ll have to let me know whenever you start breeding your stallion, I’d be one of the first to sign up for a baby.

Well we hope to test breed to my friend’s TB mare either later this summer or early next year. Working out the details on getting him over to the stallion station. Once we get a real idea of how he’s going to handle and make sure he can ship cooled I’ll let you know. Working on a web site as we speak (well actually my other half is). He’s definitely my best mover, though Pro A Myrddin, is a stunner too once he decides to show off. I’ll keep you posted

I definitely have a smattering of bloodlines. Mine are Nescliffe, Syndeham, Nebo, Llanarth, & Menai mostly though Cosmo is by Kurbaum’s Chief who is mostly Derwen lines. Now if I can swing another section D mare my program will be set

[Foxtrot_s]

Welsh cobs have made a bit of a name for themselves in BC - Brynarian lines. Brynarian Griffin is a true alrounder, although half TB. He is l7 hh, drives, dressage, jumps, works cows, back country trails, you name it. Dreamer (xTB) went to Virginnia as a young rider event horse. Uni Griffon is listed for selection for the Olympics under Lisa Marie Fergusson. Several are in the driving clubs. Tom Davies was the original importer of these horses. Good minds, and good feet.

[rivenoak]

I’ve ridden every mare & the stallion at this farm, as well as some offspring & also another cob, and have never found one to have a choppy trot!

http://www.moonlightranch.com

I keep wavering between buying one of these from my friend, whose ranch it is, and my first love, a TB. I love the “forward” of the cobs and the height. It’s the saddle-fitting that really puts me off…

[exvet]

Hey rivenoak why don’t you just buy a cross? You can often get the best of both worlds though I won’t promise the saddle fit to be the easiest. My welsh cob x TB cross still takes a wide tree but it’s an off the rack saddle. I agree on the comment regarding Wendy’s whole herd having ridden them all too - not a choppy one in the bunch. Of course perhaps I’m biased towards her program since she’s the breeder of my fourth level guy. Tell her Monty and I say hello!

[jillya]

crosses

I have hard somwhere at least with connemara’s that the crosses tend to be hotter than the purebreds, is this similar in cobs?

[Thomas_1]

I’m of the opinion (from experience) that’s a total myth.

Incidentally my dun driving pair that are throughout my web site are welsh D x connemara. I’ve currently got 11 connemara cross (the rest with t/b)

Here it would be called a cob if it was a cross and if it was a Welsh D or other Welsh mountain pony (A,B or C) then it would be so called.

mother was maid of mountains-sec d by llanarth braint and tara sec d

bonnies registered as a sec d— and not a x cob type
although she does have a a sec A in her parantage plus a coupe of section C’s

just to enchance what thomas 1 saying-- she not a x type cob she a welsh sec d bred cob

if she was part welsh with another breed then she would be a x type and if say she was welsh part bred x tb then again shes be known as a cross type or part bred in welsh classes
hope that makes sense

bonnies mother was dun her father was a strawberry roan , shes a bay (dark bay almost balck with roan flecks to her sides and not as heavy looking as to thomas 1 pics think thomas actually has a piccy of her somewhere i think am sure i send him one of her with novice rider on her

[joliemom_again]

I haven’t read all the posts yet, but I have a Welsh Cob (sect. D)/QH cross who’s a nice mover, very free in the shoulder but has to work to bring her hind under. Bought her unstarted as a 3 year old, and the first few years she was on the hot side. Or sensitive. Or opinionated. But courageous and brave to a fence, and a great mind as long as you’re on her side.

Then she turned 8 or 9 and became the steadiest horse I’ve ever ridden. We’ve done everything on her and today she can take a new rider on their first hunt or a more experienced person to their first event.

And she’s built like a brick outhouse.

Oh and she’s a Llanarth Warwick mare from some the oldest QH lines I’ve ever seen. Again, steady, sane, and at 14.3/15 h, easy for me to mount without a block.

[Remarkable_Shadow]

Lovely Lovely animals. Hard workers too, and as Foxtrot mentioned the Brynarian Lines are hard to beat. I’m hooked now, and they’re hardy, mine was out to pasture all winter and he’s rolly polly as ever and they’re sensitive yes, hot meh, depends I’ve ridden hot ones (my dressage pony) to ones that were actually like moving couches and just didn’t care. If you’re willing to work for it, they’re amazing animals and really connect with their riders.

*Kentchurch Chime, a palomino stallion, went to Grand Prix.[/QUOTE]

Here is one of his offspring that I am just drooling over…if I only had a spare 15K… http://agdirect.com/scripts/hrsdetl.exe?1185749355&0

I have not yet had the pleasure of riding one, but to me their gaits look lovely…and comfy. I have not seen one that appeared choppy.

And just for fun…since my friends know my desire for something of the welsh variety - Here is another link to a a cute welsh filly!

I saw my first Welsh Cob not long ago when I went to buy hay from Tamara in TN and fell madly in love.

you’d be equally smitten with the new filly born two days ago

[Ambrey]

Damn, I need to grow up to be rich so I can have a horse farm and get one of my own! I just love those guys.

KB, that palomino is to die for.

Tamara,

Please post a photo of your bay stallion that I lust after.

What I should do is find a nice, teeny little TB mare for myself, then breed her to Warrior for my custom-made cross! Then, I can ride the mare while baby grows up…

I’ll be sure to say hello for you - Risk-Averse Rider & I were just over there the other weekend riding. R-A R had never ridden a cob before; I think she might be hooked! :winkgrin:

Hey Thanks!..You might mention too that I suggested she update the web site. Monty’s doing fourth level and holding his own. I can send her pics if she’d like to use 'em :winkgrin:
