Hi my names Lauren, am new on here... I've recently added to my collection of horses and got a 14.1hh irish cob on loan, he is all black barring a white streak on his neck not making him quite a coloured!! wondering whether anyone will give me a hand with what classes i should put him in at more the local level shows, being a cob.... not easy  !! Thanx Lauren. |

Lots of local shows do Ridden Cob Type, or Traditional Ridden Showing. Does he jump? At local level there are sometimes classes for unregistered Native type as well as the M&M workers.
The main thing is to do what you and he both enjoy and are good at!
Also, my native cob type used to do well in family pony classes, being sensible and suitable for all the family to ride. If he's a sensible type then try the fun classes like Handy pony etc. Just enjoy him.
By the way, welcome to Horse Gossip!!

Thanks for that !!
Yes he does, normally between 2' 6'' and 3' 3'', and he is the most sensible boy i know, but tends to bit slightly forward going when away from home like they do !!!
Again thanx for the help.

thanks, thats a great help!!
i thought it had to be a certain length to be classed as a coloured, so that is great news, might have to phone up CHAPS, cheers.
Lauren.
