Welsh Pony & Cob Society NZ
Welcome to the Welsh Pony and Cob Society of New Zealand Online Studbook
The Welsh
Pony and Cob Society of New Zealand was first formed in 1966, for the
purpose of preserving the breed in its highest form, for keeping a true
and correct record of ponies bred in New Zealand, in the form of a Stud
Book. Patterned on the Welsh Pony and Cob Society in Wales any purebred
pony registered with The Welsh Pony and Cob Society of New Zealand must
be able to be traced back to registers in Wales on all sides.
The Welsh Stud Book contains registration details of four "types"
of Purebred Welsh Ponies and Cobs. These types include the Welsh
Mountain Pony “Section A”, the Welsh Pony “Section B”, the Welsh
Pony of Cob type “Section C” and the Welsh Cob “Section D”. Each
Section, or type, has specific characteristics, but all retain the
character, versatility and excellent temperament of the Welsh
breeds. The Stud Book also contains the Register of Welsh
Partbreds which must have a minimum 12.5% of Welsh blood in their
parentage.
