Section  B

Section B is the Welsh Pony. Section B's are similar, but larger — not exceeding13.2 h.h. (137.2 cms) — and with more riding pony qualities.

​

The general description of the Welsh Mountain Pony can be applied to the Welsh 
Pony, with greater emphasis being placed on riding pony qualities whilst retaining 
the true Welsh quality with substance.

For generations these ponies were the hill farmers' main means of transport, herding 
sheep and wild ponies over rough and mountainous country. They had to be hardy, 
balanced and fast to survive, which ensured that only the best were bred from. 
 

These qualities, combined with a natural jumping ability, and the temperament of 
their Welsh Mountain Pony forebears make the Welsh Pony second to none in 
whatever field his young rider may choose. Today they hold their own among our top 
class riding ponies both in performance competitions and in the show ring. 
The height should not exceed 13.2 h.h. (137.2 cms).
