No i didn't.Had a ride in a Torsion,but I wanted real leather and something that
looked like a dressage saddle.

Hi Briget
I have two treeless saddles one I ride on a horse with no wither (I call it the
arm chair) and the other I ride if the horse has a wither. They mould around the
horse as they warm up and they are very comfortable for horse and rider.

I had to ride in a normal stock saddle the other day and I regretted that once I
got off :-). They can take a bit of getting used to as you feel EVERY movement
of the horse, but I feel it makes a you better rider and improves the balance.

Sometimes you can ask for a demo saddle to get an idea if its your cup of tea,
as they are too expensive to buy one only to find out you dont like it.

I find that my arm chair saddle does slip a bit as I am getting on (so I use the
trusty mounting block or get someone to hold the stirrup on the other side) but
is fine when I am on. I think they are great and very kind to your nether
regions.
regards
Carol

I do agree that horses with this fault should not be bred from however I have 3
in my paddock that prove that a stallion with this fault does not always pass it
on.
I was aware of the fault but also knew he had sired over a hundred foals and not
one had the fault.  It was a huge risk but as the family are also the best
performed Irish Draughts in the world it was a chance I was prepared to take.

I guess thats also why the fault is so prominent in TB lines that race well.

     hi all :-)
       i have seen a parrot mouth in a  cob......
       same as any other breed ,faults are going to crop up from time to
time.....
       but as long as the line is not bred from and the horse can still keep
weight on and have a usefull life then good oh.

       same as the ponies........there is no such thing as  a perfect horse.....

       i heard on the radio this morning(in wa) that a pony from the hurricans
last yr in america had a front of leg amputated below the knee. they were
talking to one of the vets over there and it has an artifical leg from two
inched below the knee. it was a pony and they said if it didnt have the
temprement it dose it could not have been saved. tolerates the limb being
cahnged and all......

       but i do stongly believe if a horse pony cob whatever has a fault then it
should not be bred on.

       just my opinion

Not sure how it got into the Irish line but again does not seem to have stopped
anyone breeding to that line. I knew the stallion was parrot mouthed but still
bred 3 times to him.  Not one of the progeny has any mouth issues whatsoever and
they have certainly inherited the best parts of the family line.  I know alot of
the stallions progeny and have only ever met one who had a slight misalignment
which could have in fact come from the mare line.

   The information that a line of cobs has mouth problems is news to me,
   like Shirley I have never come across one.
   I have seen a few TB's and various crossbreds with parrot mouths though.

   Maybe it is just another case of the gossip fairies,
   Love this tidbit I heard recently
   Rhiannon is really really hot and crazy so I am frightened of her
   Now that is the funniest thing I have ever heard, you would be lucky to
   get a reaction out of her if you put a firecracker up her butt!
   =-O :-D :-D

   I would never make any kind of decision on hearsay but get my
   information from a variety of sources and check it out myself!
   And make sure it was fact before I sharing it with anyone!!!

As a breeder of Welsh Cobs for nearly 30 years, I have   never seen
one with a malformed bite.  Maybe I have just been lucky, but I have
never even heard that suggested before!
As a Judge on a few different breed panels, it is one of the  required
things to check teeth for overshot and undershot teeth, also in a
stallion to check that his "masculinity "is all there.
Some people do not like you to touch their horses mouth in case of
spreading germs, so it is often wiser for the judge to ask the handler
to open the horse mouth for the judge to see.
A foal that is born with a SLIGHTLY uneven bite( This I have seen in
two miniature ponies ) usually evens up within a few months.
This question re horses mouths is something that would be mentioned
and discussed at any Welsh Seminar, a very good reason to attend one
to learn about all conformation points!    Shirley

Hi All,
I have my new treeless cob saddle!!!
It is the Horse connection London dressage saddle.It looks just like a real
dressage saddle,and is so soft and comfy.
No more worrying about changing gullets for every horse!!
Cheers
Sam

Hi Kate,
I have been told that "some"  lines of cob breeding have an overshot jaw
issue and i would think this is what the Judge is looking for.
Kind regards Natalie.

Hi
Sorry if this sounds a dumb question but..........
Can any one tell me why a judge asks to look into a horses mouth when
judging a breed class.
I thought it may be age,or to see if there was a defect.
Many thanks

Can anyone elaberate on this? Any particular cob line this has
affected more?
I have seen parrot mouth in t/breds and have just seen a pony with her
top jaw smaller than her lower jaw..Does anyone know if there is
anything you can do in this situation. She seemed well enough, nice
and fat etc, just couldn't graze but ate hay fine etc...
I would love any info anyone has on this email me here or privately..

Yes it just foxed me.
I would of thought a defect would of been visible.
It was an APSB class  and some horses had bits some didn't..
Wish I had met the judge I would of asked her.
Thank you for all your answers and I don't feel so dumb now lol

Hi
not a dumb question, tho i dont know the answer i think it would have
maybe more to do with like if they had a parrot mouth, defect or
whatever. I must say i have never seen a judge do that either. it does
sound weird! you would think it would be about the age, normally the
classes are set out like yearling 2yo 3yo ect ect. i duno!

Hi All,

Yes yet again, cobs take it all!

Today I was lucky to head off to Werribee for the ASPR Offical/Assoc.
EFA Dressage and ShowJumping Day.

It was a day off success, namely Kasey Tozer who rode her trusty
steed Rhadlon Hywel in Dressage and took out (mind you i had to let a
list written so i could remember).....
Hi Point Welsh Pony
Premier ASPR Pony
Res. Ch. Assoc. Novice
AND the Cob Medallion (i think that was for Hi Point Cob 81%+ in
Prelim. Test.

Did i forget anything?? Haha, not a good report writer BUT i know she
did a TOP TOP job, keep up the excellent work Kasey, awsome stuff.

And before I forget, i think i will rename Barnon Imperial Jack (i
hope thats ok) JUMPING JACK FLASH, with Jack taking out the 90cm
Showjumping and earning himself a new fanclub, well done Jack and
Norm. Dont we just love winning!!!!

Ok i thin that sums it up, if i forgot anything feel free to add, but
cant get much better than that, common' cob people get ya awsome
ponies out!!!

Welsh Cob Discussion List Rules
May 26, 2005

PURPOSE

We are dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Welsh Cob in
Australia.
We welcome the discussion about all things to do with Welsh Cobs.

ATMOSPHERE

There is a strong code of proper etiquette on the Welsh Cob List,
and it is every contributing subscriber's responsibility to uphold
that code of etiquette and set a good example for others on this list.
Treat others how you would like to be treated.
It is very important that each subscriber does his/her part to contribute to a
healthy,
helpful atmosphere. We are here to share information and thoughts, discuss in a
friendly manner
and to help each other. Please be supportive of others,
especially those whom you disagree with.

ONE-LINERS

(One-liners are comments that consist of a few words to only a sentence in reply
to
someone else's post). Please resist the temptation to send one-liner posts that
add nothing to the conversation, such as "Me, Too" or "Thank you" only.
IF you have something more to add, such as elaborate on why you agree or how
someone's
post has helped you, then please feel free to do so. If you just want to thank
somebody
or let them know you agree with them, please email them privately. IF, however,
you have
something substantial to say and can do so in only a few words, this is not
considered a
"one-liner" and you are welcome to send such posts.

FLAME WARS/INFLAMMATORY POSTS

All messages must be mindful, kind, and peaceful, they may not be cruel or
inflammatory to anyone in any way.
Personal attacks and misleading gossip are NOT acceptable, and we expect them
not to happen, under ANY circumstances.
Consider carefully what you post about others, whether they are members of this
list or not, you will be personally LIABLE for any damage caused by your post.
If you can not discuss in an open and friendly manner, you do not belong on
these lists.
Name calling and derogatory comments are completely uncalled for and unwelcome.
It is natural in any discussion for people to disagree, otherwise it wouldn't be
a discussion... however, please disagree politely.
As long as you are courteous and don't intentionally offend or insult others on
the lists, you are a welcome addition.  Nastiness, in any form, will not be
tolerated.

MISUNDERSTANDINGS

Misunderstandings are normal. No matter how well you think you explain yourself,
what you say may be misinterpreted.
If this happens, CALMLY clarify what you have meant, rather than take offense.
Give people the benefit of the doubt, and treat them with respect, even (or
ESPECIALLY)
in case of disagreement. Treat others how you would like to be treated.

OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION

Off-topic discussion is not allowed.

SAFE FOR CHILDREN

These lists are safe for children. Please do not post content that would be
unacceptable to those under 18.

TRIM

When replying to another's post, please delete all that is not vital to maintain
the
coherence of the thread. Yahoogroups tends to add considerable advertising,
links, etc.
to the bottom of every post... delete these before hitting send on your reply.
Take special note if you are a DIGEST subscriber... please remove all material
that
isn't on the topic you are posting to.
Posting privileges may be revoked if replies to the lists are not trimmed.

SUBJECT LINE

When a subject changes, as they tend to do, please change the subject line to
reflect this.
Also please make sure not to leave the subject line blank.

SIGN/SIGNATURES

Sign your posts, preferably with your name and email address.
You are welcome to include your webpage URL(s) in your .sig file. Keep in mind,
though, signature files are fine but overly long ones are bothersome.

ADVERTISING

Advertising (items/horses for sale, services, events) are only welcome if they
are directly
concerning Welsh Cobs.

COPYRIGHT

Copyright is retained by the writer of a message. Public posting does not give
one
permission to publish a message in a magazine, repost it somewhere else, etc.
If you love what someone's written, contact them privately and discuss further
publication with them. If it comes to the List Administrators' attention that
posts
have been forwarded from one of our lists to another list WITHOUT the author's
permission,
it will result in immediate unsubscription and ban from the lists from the
offending party.

IF RESPONDING PRIVATELY, CHECK YOUR SEND-TO BOX

It can be AWFULLY embarrassing to mail something to the whole list that was
intended for
an individual (not to mention highly annoying for the rest of the list
subscribers).
Always check and double-check that the send-to box reads the addressee of the
person that
you intend to receive it.

HIGH VOLUME

We have many subscribers and, at times, this list can have a high volume of
email
discussion. Additionally, if anyone is concerned with the volume of email they
are
receiving with these lists, I recommend they change their status to DIGEST form.
You can do
this by sending a blank email to welshcobs-digest@...
To reverse this procedure, simply send a blank email to
welshcobs-normal@... .

UNSUBSCRIBING

To unsubscribe, send a blank email to welshcobs-unsubscribe@...

ATTACHMENTS / ARCHIVES

Due to the virus risk, attachments are stripped of all posts.
If you want to share your photos, you can do so at the Welsh Cob YahooGroups
website...
http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/welshcobs - sign in and post your photos in
either
the files section or photos section.
Message archives are also available.
