Some historians have done research on the Irish Travellers and their horses (Cobs) throughout the entire history, when the metal workers traveled to other countries with their families in caravans engaged, they were drawn by these horses (Irish Cob) also called "barrel top wagons."

In fact, the daily survival of these workers relied heavily on the Irish Cobs that were part of their family environment. Every day, these travelers went from town to town in wagons pulled by Irish Cobs.

The Irish Cob was raised at that time just as now, to incorporate kindness and tolerance. This was absolutely necessary for an animal that lived as part of the family and both worker and horse working together as an essential worker. In addition, the Irish Cob could become the best friend of children.

For hundreds of years, the Irish Cob was the main worker of the Irish peasant as well as travelers. For this reason, horses are also known as Gypsies (Gypsy Horses) or "Tincker-Cobs.

Currently, the Irish Cob has the distinction of being one of the oldest Irish breeds recognized, while at the same level as the famous "Pony Condemar and Percheron Horse Irish (Irish Draught Horse).

The Irish Cob can be any color, however, the "piebalds" (black-white bicolor coat), the "skewbalds" (white-brown layer bicolor) and black with white feet and white socks, have always been most appreciated by passengers. Another prized color but not so common-Irish Cob is the "Blangdon." This is any solid color but white spots under the belly.
