I would presume maybe that they expect it to make 15.1, but then surely you would state "expected to make..." but I wouldn't have a clue what breeding. My boy is half Sec D but doesn't look anything like it!!!
Bar the colouring, I would have to go against the grain and say he has something of a welsh head. Still as tbc said, he can only be partbred - spots arent part of the welsh breed.
I saw that and thought the exact same thing! Really annoys me when people put a horse is a certain breed when it clearly cannot be! Part bred perhaps, and a very lovely young'un!
I had a look at that too....cute with the heart, I don't normally like spotted ones because there was one on our yard once and he had a white bottom-hole
....very peculiar it was but thats besides the point.....
I didn't think it was a seccy D either and frankly....I'm not that great at breed spotting unless its a shetty, arab or donkey...
It gets to me too though, coloured section D seems to come up a lot on horsemart and alike.

Rather like the 'Registered Section A' I was looking at earlier - advertised in both the Welsh and 'coloured' sections and was IMO a coloured pony.....are the WPCS letting standards slip?
Hmm, nicely marked, but it is one of my pet hates when people cross appys with cobs and the like. Not sure why but it does make me angry when i see someone ruining a breed that is no longer very true to type due to random outcrossing.

Its rather common in Section A's
If it is in fact coloured (as in skewbald/piebald) it will not be eligible for registration as a pure bred because of the colour, it would only be eligible as a partbred.
I'm not so up of my A's, but I think it ha alot to do with there being far more roans in the breeding, so you do see A's with alot of splash colouring etc.
