Description
The Welsh Pony and Cob originated in Wales in the United Kingdom. The smallest is the Welsh Mountain Pony, the slightly taller Welsh Pony of riding type which is popular as a children's show pony, the smaller but stocky Welsh Pony of Cob Type is popular for riding and competitive driving and the tallest is the Welsh Cob which can be ridden by adults.
Native ponies existed in Wales before 1600 BC, and a Welsh-type cob was known as early as the Middle Ages. They were influenced by the Arabian horse and possibly also by the Thoroughbred and the Hackney horse. The Welsh breeds have had many uses including as a cavalry horse, a pit pony, and as a working animal on farms.
