American Cob Waiting to Rise in Horse World
Undersized horses and the American cob draw praise for muscular power and intelligence while noting coarse heads, necks, and varying sizes. A French cavalry commission praised Hovyhnhnms but warned about undersized, defective animals. The cob is a solid all rounder, valued for daily work, with potential if trained. Maud and France's Alexander are cited as examples of speed and quality. The piece questions how to hasten the cob's development and notes trainers' skill and the need for a focused association.
