They are one of the most beautiful of all the British native ponies.The Welsh Pony of Cob Type should be no taller than 13.2 hands. However, unlike the Welsh pony, it is heavier and more coblike and compact, reflecting the infusion of cob and Andalusian blood.The Mountain Pony is thought to have evolved from the prehistoric Celtic pony. The sparse and inhospitable hills of Wales developed the small and extremely hardy animal.Today, the type is used mainly in harness for competitive driving. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
