Welsh animals are famous world wide for their wonderful temperament, versatility and hardiness and are recognised as a breed suitable for all members of the family.

There are four sections of Welsh animals in the Australian Welsh Stud Book

The Welsh Pony (Section B) which must not exceed 13.2hh.

The Welsh Pony of Cob Type (Section C) must not exceed 13.2 hh and is a stronger counterpart of the Welsh Pony.

The Welsh Cob (Section D) has no upper height limit but it is recommended the lower height is over 13.2hh.

The four sections of the breed, as well as the versatile Part Welsh fulfil all horse disciplines from children’s first pony, to harness and saddle and have been successful all over the world in elite competition.

There are two main forms of membership. Full membership entitles the member to register a brand and prefix and to register animals that they breed in the Stud Book. Associate membership is for those people who would like to own a Welsh animal for show purposes etc without wishing to breed.
