Naming and Defining a Breed – The Irish Cob
My name is Evelyn Flynn, formerly Evelyn Murphy, and this is a personal account of my introduction to an extraordinary, unnamed horse breed in the early 1980s that led me to spend over ten years seeking to have the breed officially recognised in Ireland.

Traditional Cob Names - Irish Cob & Gypsy Cob
The Traditional Cob, bred in Ireland and officially recognized as the Irish Cob in 1998, originated from Irish foundation stallions. English breeding later introduced distinct traits, creating two variations: the athletic Irish Cob and the stockier Gypsy Cob, each reflecting the breed's rich history.
