The Welsh come in four sections.
Pony is the oldest and purest.
Standing 12.2 hh or less, they are characterized by large wide-set eyes, small neat ears and a dished face. They are excellent children's ponies and also good driving ponies. Section B is a larger version of the A standing 14hh or less with the emphasis on riding. They are a true dual-purpose family pony. Section D Welsh Cob stands over 13.2 hh with no upper height limit.
