23 December (Part 2) - The Horse Whisperer

The Belvedere cob The Belvedere cobI have lost count of how many times the Belvedere Cob has been damaged by passing vehicles since it was installed in 2011. It may be only twice, in 2019 by an Asda lorry and earlier this year by a hit and run driver. It was not very clever of him to leave his work’s pass on the windscreen even if he did think to remove his number plates.

Since then the Cob has been missing from its highly vulnerable position in the middle of a very busy roundabout.

I had half forgotten about it but a curious reader made enquiries, to whom he didn’t say, but he reports back that it is currently the subject of a costs argument between the vehicle insurance company and the manufacturer, but the expectation is that it will be repaired and restored to its (not very) stable eventually.
