Hi there,

My name is Alisha and I live in Qld. I breed arabians at the moment
but I have an ever increasing interest in Welsh ponies and cobs. I
have had a welsh pony before but I dont know much about cobs and
can't say I recall ever meeting one in the flesh!

I am considering breeding one of my purebred mares to a cob this
year instead of another purebred arab. Is this a cross that is done
often with success?? I have pretty much decided that if the foal
she is carrying now is a filly i will use a welsh pony or cob but if
its a colt I will probably go arabian since I really want a purebred
daughter of hers to continue on with.

What size are cobs generally?? Are the stallions typically larger
than the mares?? What kind of nature do they have?? I really like
the look of them but of course i know it would be changed if it were
crossed with another breed so i dont know if it would be worth it or
if i should just buy one!

Anyway I have done enough talking, I look forward to learning some
more from you all and will go now and look at the pics of your
horses!

Cheers

Alisha
