Welsh pony, you could be talking about four different types of ponies.
In fact, there is a section a, b, c, and d when it comes to Welsh
ponies. The section a ponies are the Welsh mountain ponies. The section
b is just the Welsh pony. The section c is the Welsh cob pony, and
last, but not least, is the Welsh Cob. Yes, section c and d sound about
the same, but there is a difference between the Welsh cob pony and the
Welsh Cob. Be sure to keep that in mind whenever you are talking about
the Welsh ponies with other people. You see, Welsh ponies are suitable
mounts for many people. Some people think of ponies as only being
mounts for kids, but that is not the case when it comes to Welsh
ponies. In fact, these horses can be suitable mounts for grown adults
as well. Most people classify the Welsh pony as both a riding pony and
a driving pony. However, it is also important to note that the horse

preform well under the saddle, and that includes a hunting and jumping
horse as well. Overall, the Welsh pony is a very popular childrens'
pony.
