  • En cob är egentligen ingen hästras utan en benämning på en typ av häst som avlats fram speciellt för att passa till ridning. Cob räknas som den vackraste av hästtyperna. Ett gammalt talesätt sade att coben skulle ha "en kammarjungfrus huvud och en kokerskas präktiga bak". Före bilens tid fanns det en cob på nästan varje gård i England. (sv)
