Here we have the gentle but sturdy mare (also this breed is known as a 'cob') - ready to go - and ready to pull a heavy wooden caravan or cart behind her -
Like her male counterpart, she was bred for strength and pulling power and comes from A ‘cob’ which is traditionally a small horse
with a stout build, strong bones, large joints, and a steady disposition; it is
also a breed of horse. This is
why it must have been such a good choice of horse when it pulled the traditional wooden bowtop
caravans belonging to the gypsies as they travelled on the open road for miles
and miles.
.
This is a figure from the Schleich Equestrian World ... just look at how strong and steady she is ...
The Tinker is a type or breed of domestic horse from the British Isles – it is also well
