How high is a welsh cob?

In: Care of Horses [Edit categories]

Answer:

The term "cob" refers to a body type rather than a specific breed. Cobs are generally quite small, with large joints and strong bones. They usually have a very steady, reliable temperment. Cobs are bigger than ponies, at 14.2hh or taller, but small by horse standard. The rulebook of the British Show Horse Association says: "The Cob is a type rather than a breed. A short-legged animal exceeding 148cms (58 inches or 14.2 hands) with a maximum height of 155cms (61 inches or 15.1 hands)"
