8. The Pinto Horse Thought to have originated from European, Spanish, and Russian breeds, the Pinto is a horse based off of color rather than breed. Any horse (with some exceptions) that displays a flashy, colorful coat can be classified as a Pinto. While the Pinto does not have a specific breed conformation, there are 4 acknowledged types of confirmation. Each type of Pinto is shown in their own respective classes and great care is taken, while breeding, to not cross different types with one another.

9. The Saddle Type The Saddle type horse is predominantly of Saddle, Hackney, and Tennessee Walking Horse breeding. They display the typical breed characteristics of the above mentioned breeds: wide eyes, head held high, very animated, and high action. The Saddle type pony displays these same characteristics, but in a Shetland Pony sized package.

10. The Hunter Type The Hunter type horse is of predominantly Thoroughbred breeding. Their height and conformation vary. But, they attempt to maintain the Thoroughbred confirmation as closely as possible. They are primarily used in the show ring, performing in jumping and hunter events. The Hunter type pony also maintains the look of a Thoroughbred, as well as the Connemara Pony. They are also used in jumping and hunter events.

11. The Stock Type The Stock type horse is a Western horse that is predominantly of Quarter Horse and Paint Horse breeding and confirmation. They are bred for all-around work. Trail riding, ranch work, and Western Pleasure events are just a few of their uses. The Stock type pony also attempts to maintain Quarter Horse and Paint Horse confirmation; as well as Shetland Pony confirmation and height.

12. The Pleasure Type The Pleasure type horse sticks closely to Arabian and Morgan Horse confirmation and height. They are, obviously, bred as pleasure horses and can perform the same tasks as an Arabian and a Morgan. The Pleasure type pony maintains the confirmation and height of the Welsh Pony. However, there is some influence in regards to their confirmation from both the Arabian and Morgan horses.

13. The Welsh Pony and Cob breeds Being closely related to one another, the term “Welsh” is a very generic title when talking about the Welsh ponies. Welsh Pony and Cob breeds have been separated into four ‘sections’ in an attempt to be able to differentiate between them. The four sections include: Welsh Mountain Pony (Section A) Welsh Pony (Section B) Welsh Pony of Cob Type (Section C) Welsh Cob (Section D) The breeds originated in Wales and in 1901, the UK opened the first stud book for the breeds.

14. The Welsh Mountain Pony (Section A) These ponies are the most refined of all four. They are characterized as having large eyes, a small head (a dish in the face is typical from Arabian influence), a high set tail, and refined leg confirmation. According to US standards, the Section A ponies can not exceed 12.2 hands. While the UK standards do not allow Section A’s to exceed 12 hands. Their original use was to pull carts in the coal mines. Today, they are used in the show ring as riding ponies and cart ponies.

15. The Welsh Pony (Section B) This pony is larger and more of a riding-type pony. It combines the hard working attitude of the Section A pony with elegance and athleticism. They maintain a light body build, as a result of Thoroughbred and Hackney blood. Being very similar to the Section A ponies, Section B ponies’ main difference is their taller, riding-type frame. Their maximum height in the US is 14.2 hands. While the UK does not allow them to be taller than 13.2 hands. These ponies are commonly used as children’s riding ponies, as well as in hunter-jumper competitions.

16. The Welsh Pony of Cob Type (Section C) The Section C pony is heavier and more compact than either Sections A or B. They maintain a cob like appearance and possess a moderate amount of feathering. This pony was the result of crossing a Section A pony with a Section D pony. Many Section C ponies are still produced this way. The height standards for this pony state it can not exceed 13.2 hands. It is used today in jumping events, as well as competitive driving.

17. The Welsh Cob (Section D) The Section D pony is the largest out of all four. They must be taller than 13.2 hands, and they do not have an upper height limit. The characteristics of this pony include the maintenance of pony type features including, large eyes, a small head, and neat ears. It is mostly used as a riding pony for both adults and children. However, it is best known for its use in harness driving. Like the other Welsh ponies, Welsh Cobs are also used as hunters and jumpers.
