MINI SHOW COBS UPDATE

15th May 2024

 

Our ‘normal’ show cob championship caters for cobs who are between 148cm and 155cm, and maxi cobs who stand over 155cm tall.

 

We have now included a championship for show cobs not exceeding 148cm. So, if you have a mini cob who is hogged and trimmed, you can show them in both in-hand and ridden classes.

 

Do you have a hairy cob? Then you too, have both an in-hand class and a ridden class (same as last year). Our traditional championship is for ANY HEIGHT, shown natural with full mane and tail and feathered legs.

 

Q: “I have a Welsh Cob, which class do I pick?”

A: None of the cob championships! A Welsh Section D is said to be ‘of cob type’, but these fire-breathing dragons are classed as mountain & moorlands (often referred to as ‘natives’ i.e. a native breed to the UK).

 

Q: “I have a part-bred cob, I don’t know which class to enter?”

A: Well firstly, a true cob is a type rather than a breed, so it is either a cob or it is not. If you mean a part-bred Welsh Cob, then that is a part-bred native, not a cob!

 

Q: “My traditional cob is 10hh, is there a class for him?”
A: Yes, traditional cobs can be any height.

Q: “What about coloured cobs?”
A: Buckle up and read on….

COLOURED CLASSES

Remember we said we would include ‘other coloureds’ for 2024?

This year, our championships will include both in-hand and ridden classes for,

  • piebald and skewbald horses exceeding 148cm.
  • dun, roan, spotted, palomino and odd-coloured horses exceeding 148cm.
  • piebald, skewbald, dun, roan, spotted, palomino and odd-coloured ponies 148cm & under.

Essentially, horses over 148cm will be split into piebald/skewbald and ‘others’, ponies under 148cm will be combined.
