The winsome Welsh Pony and Cob! We are celebrating this breed as our September Breed of the Month on YourDressage! We recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite Welsh Pony, Cob, or Welsh cross and tell us a little about them for a chance to be featured on YourDressage, and they sure delivered! Stay tuned all month long as we will be sharing stories and galleries from folks who love this breed.
Did you know that dressage riders who choose a Welsh Pony or Cob as their dressage mount are eligible for special awards through the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards program, as The Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America, Inc. is a participating organization?
