Welsh Pony and Cob Horse: Breed Profile
The Welsh pony and cob, also known as the Welsh mountain pony, are the products of a storied history, having faced challenges from both humans and nature. This has resulted in a group of tough, adaptable animals whose flashy style makes them very popular horses for the show ring. Adults often use them in harness, and their sizes are perfect for young riders. The larger Welsh cobs are a steady ride for older children and adults, as well.
