Was my pony a Welsh Sec A or B

[louise1967]

I recently lost my Welsh pony in March to Laminitis, I think he was a Sec A, thats what he was sold to me as, and has that on his passport. He was Grey 12HH, and a very in proportion pony, out of all the ponie's we seen before we bought him, I only found 2 that looked perfect to me. My problem is I never see any like him around anymore, Sec A's seem to be shorter in the leg, larger barrell, small heads & nothing looks in proportion to me, is this the new way of bredding Sec A's? or was he a Section B? To me he had an araby look like Welsh ponies do, but he was like looking at a horse but in a smaller form, everything in proportion, head, legs, barell etc...

If you post details of the breeding someone may know.

I have no details of his breeding, I was just told he was a Sec A

 

[xloopylozzax]

did he have a green wpcs passport?

 

[xloopylozzax]

can you remember his proper name? might be able to find some breeding from that for you

this was my sec A, he was the best pony i have ever had. about 12hh i think

also a different type to the ones you see now

Welsh A - short, stocky, dished face

Welsh B - Like a mini TB type horse, finer.

 

[louise1967]

Looking at the pictures of the breeds I would say Sec A, but his head was more in proportion to his body, where as nowadays they look big bodied, short legs & heads that are much to small for their bodies, ours did had a dished face, but not overly dished.

if he didnt have a green WCPS passport, he could have been anything TBH.

How old was he when you lost him? I'm thinking as most breeds/species etc, types evolve, the modern morgan is very different from the original morgan alot finer etc. The modern warmblood is alot lighter than the older style.

This is my daughters sec. a, hes quite a well bred one, his sires side is the friars lines, and the dams side is from the crossways line. Both lines are long standing lines, so hes a 'traditional type'
