Welsh Pony and Cob Horse: Breed Profile

 Still, many people appreciate the added character in this loyal, flexible breed.

How to Adopt or Buy a Welsh Pony or Cob

The cost of a Welsh pony averages around $5,000. This largely depends on the horse’s age, training, and pedigree. The price can rise up to $50,000 or more for a solid, healthy pony with success in the show ring. 

When searching for a pony, visit with it at the breeder or rescue organization before committing. Learn about the pony's history, health, temperament, and training. 

And ask to see its training demonstrated if possible. Also, look for red flags that haven't been disclosed, 

such as lameness or labored breathing, which can indicate injury or illness. It is also advisable to have your veterinarian perform a pre-purchase or pre-adoption examination to determine the pony's health and suitability.
