Thanks for your advice re the Cob x arabs. Currently I have three mares which I solely bought to breed to Trouby. 2 TBs and 1 pure welsh Sec C. I still have the yearling here TB x Cob, he was born Dec 2001. I had advertised and advertised him and he hasn't sold. To me there is no market for Cobs pure or part bred in Qld. The yearling is so quiet, been handled since he was 1 week old, I have taken him to two shows and into pony club to be around other horses and he is fully rugged etc.
In September I will have two foals on the ground (if the pure mare doesn't sell) - another TB x Cob and the Pure Welsh - it will be interesting to see how long before I can find a home for them! With the new mare I bought I decided to put her to a purebred stallion to get an Anglo with the hope that there is a market for them.
The other problem with the Cobs especially in Qld (from what I have found) is there is not many classes for them. I hate getting an Ag show program and reading it and to find there is only classes for the Welsh A and B and never anything for the Cobs and they won't put them on, and very rarely do they have any other registered breed classes. At least with the arabs every Ag show has classes for them and they have specific arab only shows more than once a year! From my experience over the past year I have enjoyed my pure arab geldings rather than the cob. And at least everyone knows what an Arab is! So many times have I been to an ag show and people say,. "What kind of horse is that?"
I would really like to see my stallion end up down south to where he would be more utilized in the show ring and for breeding and have competition!
Sorry for rambling on and I hope I haven't offended anyone.
Subject: [welshcobs] Re: cob arab for and against?
I think the fastest growing market is the thoroughbred x cob for performance horses. That is where the money will be. The arab x cob I guess works on the same theory that the cobs sturdiness and character x the atheletic arab/thoughbred gives a hell of a performance horse either way.
