In motion Irish Cobs with their unique action, luxuriant hair and feathering and the large range of colours available, combine to present a beautiful and varied sight to see when turned out at their best.

Ample both in muscle and bone, the Irish Cob is compact and powerful, a good all-purpose animal. It is well balanced and proportioned, standing straight and square and offering an imposing appearance.

The head which should be held proudly, should be carried on a powerful and arched well “set on” neck. The short and straight back should slope gently upwards to a well muscled croup. The croup should be quite high and should have both croup muscles well defined.

The mane and tail should be luxuriant and capable of growing to a substantial length.
Leg hair/feathering is a characteristic and decorative feature of the Irish Cob breed. This is especially prominent in the heavier Irish Cobs.

The Irish Cob should possess a docile and willing nature, with a friendly disposition towards humans and other animal species.
The Irish Cob is a very low maintenance horse.
