Welsh Cob....

[debdeb]

Could anyone please clear this one up for me... I always thought that the height limit for welsh cobs was about the 15.3 mark. There is a new livery at our yard that has been sold as a welsh cob..he's 16.3!! Please enlighten me!!

There is no upper height limit for Welsh cobs.

There is an upper height limit of 13hh3 for sec c's but no limit for d's

Section C - 13.2hh or under; Sec D - over 13.2hh with no upper limit.

And scarily they often grow until they are about 8 or even older!

I have one bought by a girl as a nice 14.2 and sold to us while still growing at 16hh. I am not convinced he has stopped yet

Is there still hope for our Jake then? He measured 14hh when we bought him, estimated age of around 5/6. It would be great if he grew a little bit more so he could do taller riders in RDA!

Yep, Joy was still growing last year at 6 but only made an extra inch or so.

this is a sec D stallion we used to have (had to sell him because of my dads illness)
he was a rescue case, and this was taken a few days after we had got him, he had eaten twice his body weight in hay, had a bath and his feet trimmed.
i think he was over 16hh, but i cant remember exactly how tall because it was a few years ago, before it really meant anything to me
his registered name is benhindy tywysog ap craddock. he bred alot of foals so if anyone has any i would be interested to hear about/see them.

(and yes i know his mane is on the wrong side, it was split and the same on both sides)

hope you like him
