What does COBBY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
dialectBritish
Short-legged and stockily built, especially describing a horse or pony.
Cobby describes an animal, most often a pony or horse, that is compact, thickset and sturdy rather than tall and slender. The word comes from cob, a term for a short, stout type of riding horse, and cobby extends that shape to other creatures too. A cobby build is prized in draft and utility ponies because a low, wide frame carries weight and pulls loads without tiring quickly.

Used mainly in horse and pony breeding contexts, rarely applied to people or objects outside that setting.
