ICS OBJECTIVE
In 1998
the
Irish Cob Society was approved to maintain the Stud Book of the Origin
of the Breed for Irish Cobs. The ICS does not take credit for establishing
the
Irish Cob
as a distinctive breed, but aims to preserve and protect the breed,
in it's traditional
form and type as originally bred
and established
over many generations in Ireland,
by the
Travelling community,
who did not keep written records of breeding
(a
stud book),
but who passed the breeding pedigrees and lineages
on
"verbally"
from generation to generation.
