Intro<\/h3>\n

The Cob Horse<\/a> has been a part of the Irish landscape for a very long time, pulling the homes of nomadic people. Their flashy demeanor and beautiful coloring makes them a happy favorite worldwide and a part bred is no different.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

A relatively new breed compared to their grandfather, the part bred is essentially a cob type that isn’t a pure blood Cob. It stands to reason that such a versatile and handsome breed would be crossed with various other breeds. Not to mention their traditional nomadic significance is not conducive to centralized studbooks, so there has likely always been some crossbreeding with other types. <\/p>\n

Today the breed has been formally standardized and there are loose breed standards to be met to register. The animal must have at least 30& Irish Cob blood or carry 60% of breed characteristics upon inspection. Otherwise, they can be crossed with any breed and be any color. <\/p>\n
