About: Norman Cob

An Entity of Type: mammal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Norman Cob or Cob Normand is a breed of light draught horse that originated in the region of Normandy in northern France. It is of medium size, with a range of heights and weights, due to selective breeding for a wide range of uses. Its conformation is similar to a robust Thoroughbred, and it more closely resembles a Thoroughbred cross than other French draught breeds. The breed is known for its lively, long-striding trot. Common colours include chestnut, bay and seal brown. There are three general subsets within the breed: horses used under saddle, those used in harness, and those destined for meat production. It is popular for recreational and competitive driving, representing France internationally in the latter, and is also used for several riding disciplines.

  • The Norman Cob or Cob Normand is a breed of light draught horse that originated in the region of Normandy in northern France. It is of medium size, with a range of heights and weights, due to selective breeding for a wide range of uses. Its conformation is similar to a robust Thoroughbred, and it more closely resembles a Thoroughbred cross than other French draught breeds. The breed is known for its lively, long-striding trot. Common colours include chestnut, bay and seal brown. There are three general subsets within the breed: horses used under saddle, those used in harness, and those destined for meat production. It is popular for recreational and competitive driving, representing France internationally in the latter, and is also used for several riding disciplines. The Normandy region of France is well known for its horse breeding, having also produced the Percheron and French Trotter. Small horses called bidets were the original horses in the area, and these, crossed with other types, eventually produced the Carrossier Normand, the immediate ancestor of the Norman Cob. Although known as one of the best carriage horse breeds available in the early 20th century, the Carrossier Normand became extinct after the advent of the automobile, having been used to develop the French Trotter, Anglo-Norman and Norman Cob. In its homeland, the Norman Cob was used widely for agriculture, even more so than the internationally known Percheron, and in 1950, the first studbook was created for the breed. The advent of mechanisation threatened all French draught breeds, and while many draught breeders turned their production towards the meat market, Norman Cob breeders instead crossed their horses with Thoroughbreds to contribute to the fledgling Selle Français breed, now the national saddle horse of France. This allowed the Norman Cob to remain relatively the same through the decades, while other draught breeds were growing heavier and slower due to selection for meat. Between the 1970s and 1990s, the studbook went through several changes, and in the 1980s, genetic studies were performed that showed the breed suffered from inbreeding and genetic drift. Breed enthusiasts worked to develop new selection criteria for breeding stock, and population numbers are now relatively stable. Today, Norman Cobs are mainly found in the departments of Manche, Calvados and Orne. (en)
  • Le cob normand est une race de chevaux carrossiers « à deux fins », originaire de Basse-Normandie (actuellement incluse dans la région Normandie). Il est issu du carrossier normand du XIXe siècle, cheval de traction légère croisé avec le trotteur Norfolk puis avec le pur-sang. Il émerge en tant que race au début du XXe siècle, et connaît une courte sélection pour les travaux agricoles, avant de participer à la formation du selle français, race nationale destinée aux sports équestres. Son registre généalogique, créé en 1950, est remanié plusieurs fois. La race échappe à l'alourdissement général des chevaux de trait français destinés à la boucherie, grâce à son rôle de reproducteur pour le selle français, en croisement avec le pur-sang. Elle est désormais gérée par le Syndicat national des éleveurs et utilisateurs de chevaux cob normand (SNEUCCN), qui cherche à fixer ses caractéristiques originelles et retient trois sélections, pour la selle, l'attelage, ou la production de viande. De taille moyenne, le cob normand est un cheval étoffé, harmonieux et bien équilibré, compact sans être lourd, de robe baie, alezane ou bai-brun, souvent marqué de blanc. Principalement répandu dans la région du haras national de Saint-Lô, qui s'investit en sa faveur, son effectif est relativement stable. La qualité de ses allures, et son tempérament courageux et vif en font un excellent cheval d'attelage, plusieurs fois primé dans cette discipline. Il est aussi très agréable sous la selle, et s'adapte à la plupart des disciplines équestres. (fr)

  • Originario dalla Normandia, una regione nel nord della Francia, il Cob Normand (o Cob normanno) è una razza equina non molto nota al di fuori della sua nazione d'origine, ed è allevato soprattutto nella regione della Manica. Di carattere tranquillo e docile, questa razza è resistente e di costituzione robusta, e per questo è stata utilizzata fin dalle sue origini sia per lavori agricoli e da tiro, sia da sella. Il Cob Normand è un cavallo di taglia media, armonico e compatto, ma non pesante, infatti, tra le razze francesi da lavoro, è il più leggero; inoltre è ottimo per l'equitazione e per la maggior parte delle discipline equestri.

  • Den Normandiska Coben är en fransk hästras som föds upp i de flerhundraåriga stuterierna Le Pin och Saint Lo i Normandie, Frankrike. Detta område har varit känt som ett av världens bästa uppfödarområde på grund av de kalkrika jordarna som ger frodiga gräsängar. På dessa stuterier föds flertalet andra franska raser upp. Den ganska stora och grova coben härstammar från små hästar som kallades bidets som ursprungligen kom från Asien. Namnet till trots så är inte den normandiska coben den typ av häst som kallas Cob i vanliga fall men har fått namnet av sin likhet till dessa hästar. (sv)
