The Welsh Pony and Cob Web Ring
The Welsh Pony and
Cob Web Ring The original
home of the Welsh Mountain Pony was in the hills and
valleys of Wales. He was there before the Romans.
His lot was not an easy one... winters were severe
and vegetation was sparse. Shelter, most often was
an isolated valley or a clump of bare trees. Yet the
Welsh pony managed not only to survive, but to
flourish. Led by proud stallions, bands of mares and
their foals roamed in a semi-wild state climbing
mountains, leaping ravines, running over rough
terrain. Hence, the development of a pony with a
remarkable soundness of body, tremendous endurance
and a high degree of native intelligence. Down
through the years, the Welsh pony and cob has served
many masters. On the upland farms of Wales, Welsh
Cobs would often have to do everything from plowing
a field to carrying a farmer to market or driving a
family to church on Sunday. Welsh ponies have been
pampered by royalty and served on the farms of the
poor. That the Welsh pony carries a trace of Arabian
blood seems beyond a doubt. However, he has
maintained his own dominant physical characteristics
over the years. It has been demonstrated that Welsh
crosses well with many other breeds, and this is, to
breeders, an important aspect of his unusual
versatility. Here you will find web resources
dedicated to this wonderful animal... The Welsh
Mountain Pony.
