The
Welsh Cob - Section D (exceeding 13.2 hands)
By The Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Canada
Aptly
described as "the best ride and drive animal in the world", the Welsh
Cob has been recognized throughout many centuries for his courage, tractability
and powers of endurance.
The
general character is the embodiment of strength, hardiness and agility.
The head shows great quality with pony character, bold prominent eyes,
a broad forehead and neat, well set ears. The body must be deep on strong
limbs with good "hard wearing" joints and an abundance of flat bone. Action
must be straight, free and forceful.
The
Welsh Cob is a good hunter, and a most competent performer in competitive
sports. In recent years they have had great success in International driving.
Their abilities in all spheres are now recognized throughout the world.

About the Author: The Welsh Pony and Cob
Society of Canada |
In the beginning, as some writers say,
there was the Canadian Pony Society. As the interest in the
Welsh breed increased, the membership of the Canadian Pony Society
included a large proportion of Welsh owners.
In 1979 the Welsh group decided to strike
out on their own and leave the Canadian Pony Society so the
Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Canada was born. The Canadian Pony
Society still exists and registers Shetland, Polo, Dartmoor,
Fell, Highland, New Forest and other pony breeds. |
