So how does a Welsh Section D still get called a Welsh cob? Technically they are M&Ms too but there doesn't (as far as I am aware) seem to be any issue with referring to them as cobs...?
Would be interested to know what the distinction would be. Unless it's because Highlands are classed as ponies, I guess. No idea...

A Welsh D is a Welsh Cob..A Welsh C is a Welsh pony of Cob Type but they are specific breeds.
A cob as most people know them are a type rather than a breed.
M&M is a term to describe NATIVE horses and ponies so a Welsh D and a Highland would come under that.
