cobs, which are 14.2 inches taller than ponies (58 inches, 147cm)
or higher, are generally smaller than ponies . However, they are
compact and small with short legs. … According to the British
Show Horse Association’s (BHSA) rulebook, “The Cob is a type
and not a breed.”
Many cobs can be identified as horses that are suitable for
beginners and first-time horse owners, as they are gentle and
calm.
