Coloured Welshies

[Sol]

Just curious really, it's always been my understanding that piebald & skewbald were not correct for Welsh ponies or cobs. Just been online & on the breed society website & there it's written also.
So... why do I see quite a few coloured welsh ponies & cobs around?! I'm very confused. Partbreds I could understand... Anyone care to enlighten me?
