A Welsh Section B pony is a refined and elegant type of Welsh Pony, known for its athleticism and grace. It is a riding pony distinct from the smaller Section A Welsh Mountain Pony, bred with Arab, Thoroughbred, and Hackney bloodlines to enhance its height and finesse, making it popular for riding and competition.
Welsh Section B ponies are intelligent, kind, bold, and spirited, making them well-suited as riding ponies for older children and small adults. They are known for their good nature and responsiveness, thriving in various equestrian disciplines.
The Welsh Section B is a lighter, more refined pony type with a long neck and high tail carriage, ideal for riding and agility, while the Section C is a stronger, cob-type pony with a deeper body, muscular build, and rounded movements, bred for strength and endurance. Both have a maximum height of 13.2 hands.
Welsh Section B ponies generally share the typical lifespan of Welsh Ponies, which is around 25 to 30 years, depending on their health and care.
