The Section A Welsh Pony is also known as the Welsh Mountain pony. An animal of great beauty and refinement, he has the
substance, stamina and soundness of his ancestors. Well known for their friendly personalities and even temperaments, they are
extremely intelligent and easily trained. Both the Section A and Section B ponies are characterized by the following traits. A large, bold
eye, tiny head, short back, strong quarters, high set on tail, fine hair, hocks that do not turn in, laid back shoulder, straight foreleg and
short cannon bone. The Section A pony may not exceed 12.2hh and can be any color except piebald or skewbald.
The Section B Welsh Pony with all the physical and personality charactistics of the Section A, this section of the Welsh Pony was
originally added to meet the demand for a larger riding type pony. Section B ponies do not exceed 14.2hh but have no lower height
limit. They are well known for their elegant movement and athletic ability but still retain the substance and hardiness of their foundation,
the Section A.
THE WELSH COB
Another of the native breeds of Wales, the Welsh Cob was part of the string of mounts for the British knights during the 15th century. A
Welsh Cob was used to lead the mighty fighting horses known as destriers. As the destrier's natural gait was the trot, Welsh Cobs had
to cover great distances matching the war horse stride-for-stride at the trot. To this day, the forceful ground covering trot of the cob is
legendary. Their substance made them popular mounts for British infantry and for pulling heavy guns and equipment through rugged
terrain up until 30 or 40 years ago. Prior to the automobile, the Welsh Cob was the quickest transport for doctors and businessmen.
Both sections of Welsh Cobs are known for their gentle nature, and are characterized as strong, hardy and active, with pony character
and as much substance as possible. They have bold eyes, strong laid back shoulders, dense hooves, a moderate quantity of silky
feather, lengthy hindquarters, and powerful hocks.
SECTION C
The Section C is also known as the Welsh Pony of Cob Type. They may not exceed13.2hh and may be any color except piebald or
skewbald. Both sections of Welsh Cobs are characterized as being Strong, hardy and active with pony character and as much
substance as possible. Bold eyes, strong laid back shoulders, dense hooves, a moderate quantity of silky feather, lengthy hindquarters,
and powerful hocks.
SECTION D
The Section D (Welsh Cob) exceeds 13.2hh with no upper limit on height. A strong and powerful animal, both the Sections C and D,
