 'Obby 'Oss traditions also exist in nearby Barnstaple and Combe Martin.Minehead in Somerset also has two large hobby horses, the Sailors' Horse and the Town Horse.Although more pointed or boat-shaped than the Padstow 'Osses, they are similar in that the dancer within the costume wears a tall, conical hat with a grotesque mask over their face; the horse framework is suspended from the dancer's shoulders and a long skirt hangs down to partly hide their body; the animal's heads are small and wooden with snapping jaws.
