Definition
A horse-drawn taxi or cab, especially one pulled by a sturdy cob horse rather than a tall thoroughbred.
Etymology
Compound of 'cob' (stocky horse) and 'cab' (short for cabriolet, a light carriage). This term reflects the practical use of cob horses for urban transportation.
Kelly Says
Cob cabs were the Ubers of the 1800s—cities preferred them because cobs were cheaper to feed, could handle rough urban streets better, and didn't tire as quickly as fancier horses!
