Team Wind Chase is predominantly made up of the Welsh Pony (section B) and German Riding Pony Breeds.The Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America provides this description of the Section B Welsh Pony: "With all the physical and personality characteristics of the Section A, this section of the Welsh Pony was originally added to meet the demand for a larger riding type pony. Section B ponies do not exceed 14.2hh but have no lower height limit. They are well known for their elegant movement and athletic ability but still retain the substance and hardiness of their foundation, the Section A."
Furthermore the WPCSA also describes the Practical uses of the Versatile Welsh Pony: "The Welsh breed is ideal for the growing child and has the spirit and endurance to challenge an adult. Today Welsh ponies and cobs can be found competing in nearly every discipline...hunters, driving, dressage, combined training, combined driving, English & Western pleasure and heavy harness."
In our experience, we have found the Section B Welsh Pony to be a willing partner for Combined Driving. They offer exquisite movement, a clever mind, and unimaginable flexibility. They have been compared to the speed, handling, and perseverance of a Ferrari race car! Please click on the photo below to learn about each of our special team members.
