The Irish Cob Society OBJECTIVE   The Irish Cob Society (ICS) established and maintained the FIRST EVER APPROVED Irish Cob Stud Book in Ireland in 1998.    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.
