Welsh Pony and Cob History
The wild wind-swept hills and valleys in Wales developed the characteristics of the Welsh Pony and Cob. Through the years, they lent their use to hill farmers and shepherds, landowners and deliverymen. In 1901, the Welsh Pony and Cob Society was established in Wales. Since the original wild pony had evolved into different looking animals, to establish a standard for each type the studbook was divided into sections A, B, C and D.
