Welara

Section B crosses usually stand 13 to 13.2 hands (52 to 54 inches, 132 to 137 cm) and can be used for driving and as riding ponies for larger children and small adults.

[2] The mix of Arabian and Welsh blood gives the breed refinement, spirit and hardiness, as well as good movement.

The head is small and slightly concave, the neck is arched (and prone to be cresty in stallions).

They are also seen in show jumping, three-day eventing, pleasure driving and as general leisure riding horses.

[2] Other breeders in England and North America soon followed suit, although at this time they were not focused on creating a new breed, and the cross became known as the Welara.

[1] Welaras have now spread to additional areas of the world, including the Caribbean, Oceania and Europe.
