Looking on the WPCS webby, I see that the breed characteristic for Welsh B & C both state "not to exceed" 13.2hh. I'm curious to know how you can tell the difference... could someone enlighten me please? Preferably with photos???

Ta :)
 
B's are tending towards riding pony sorts (so finer) and C's are cobby.

I dont like the trend of very fine B ponys, they should still have substance and bone.
 
A welsh B tends to be more of a riding pony type, however should still have enough substance, a more refined type. A welsh C should a pony of cob type, often looking like smaller D's with pony-fied heads on them.

A C is a welsh pony of cob type so really a small D - if C measures out they can be re-registered as a D.

A B is finer and often you see them shown as SHP as well as M&M - if they measure out they can't become a D they are then overheight B's!

Both from the same show, with a 5'4 jockey. The welsh C is a better example of his breed, but the welsh B is reasonable. Both were fantastic ponies and won a lot in showing, dressage and SJ.
