The Welsh Cob - Section D (exceeding 13.2 hands)
By The Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Canada

North Fork's Black EarlAptly 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.
