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).

Detailed Description
The general description of ponies in Section A of the Stud Book is
applicable to those in Section B, but more particularly the Section B pony shall be described as
a riding pony, with quality, riding action, adequate bone and substance, hardiness and
constitution and with pony character.
