THE PARK AND COVERT COB. 



As the name implies, the former is 

 used in town and the latter in the 

 country, and the necessity for smartness 

 is not so necessary in the latter as in 

 the former. 



From 14 to 15 hands, — certainly not 

 above 15.2 — is the right height for a 

 cob ; anything beyond or below ought 

 not to come under this category. 



When selecting a cob for roadster 

 purposes, it is advisable to try and find 

 one, having fairly high, good all round 

 action. 



Many horses have good fore leg action 

 but ver}^ little behind, which is equally, 

 or even more, important.
