4 WELSH GELDING No upper or lower height limit - Section E of the Stud Book The geldings produced by any of the four sections registered with the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Australia are in great demand. All Welsh geldings come under the umbrella of Section E in the studbook. However, their breeding is noted on their registration certificate ie. Section E Gelding of (A) Breeding. At WPCS Australia Inc. events, the classes are usually in the Section of the Studbook from which their breeding is derived, ie. Gelding of Section A breeding. Over height geldings are eligible to be shown in their relevant class. Show preparation: Geldings are usually presented in the same manner as mares and stallions in their breed section. The Welsh gelding competes successfully in open competition with all other breeds and cross breeds. In addition the Society promotes classes for the Welsh geldings in a wide range of equestrian fields at National, Regional and local shows and events. The Welsh gelding s temperament makes it the ideal mount for all members of the family, irrespective of age. Standard of Excellence 4 P a g e

5 PART WELSH No upper or lower height limit - Section PW of the Stud Book There is no standard of excellence for a Part Welsh horse or pony. The best inherit the strong constitution, good bone, courage, activity and equable temperament of the Welsh breeds that has led to worldwide renown. It is therefore not surprising that Welsh animals are in such demand for crossing with other breeds, and there is a Welsh Part - Bred Register for horses, Cobs and ponies whose breeding shows not less than 12.5% of Registered Welsh blood. As Part Welsh animals are accepted into the register with a minimum of 12.5% Welsh blood, it could not be expected that they exhibit obvious Welsh characteristics. Judges generally look for a well-conformed, quality animal that would be capable of competing against all breeds. It should exhibit good bone and movement to suit the purpose for which it is intended. Part Welsh Ponies can be accepted for entry into the Part Welsh Register based upon a registration with another WPCS approved breed society such as the APSB or RPSB, they must carry the minimum 12.5% Welsh blood to be eligible for entry. We require proof of ownership to accompany the application for registration. Proof of ownership can be in the form of the Registration certificate or signed Transfer from the other Breed Society.
