Irish Cobs originated on the British Isles, Ireland, and they were mostly popular among nomadic gypsy folk. These horses occur in Piebald (white and black) and Skewbald (white and brown) color patterns, and they have luxuriant tails and manes. Besides, Irish Cobs have substantial hooves and coated/feathered lower legs, which emphasize the animal's overall charm. Although Irish Cobs are heavy-boned, they move with a remarkable lightness, resulting from a combined action of forelegs and shoulders.
