EXCESSIVE WHITE |
|
| Until a few days ago I had not been near a computer for
months - when I read your posting re changes in registration rules, my reaction was Wow! As I read it, "anything goes" so long as registration applicant,
sire and dam DNA tested and results verify that applicant offspring of tested sire and dam. Are "these" ponies going to be permitted to show as purebreds
or just given papers to allow them to remain in the Welsh gene pool?
If "these" ponies are allowed to show, will they be accepted in Canada and other Welsh registries? Just wondering..... as is a very important rule change. |

| People have been ignoring the rules for so long in all the countries, I don't know if there is any way to get the lid back on this Pandora's box. What people seem to fail to realize is that there are other venues for the Welsh ponies of color, they can have perfectly wonderful, successful, lucrative careers without full registration papers. I see no "stigma" with having a Welsh Pony with too much white to qualify for full registration papers. Please let me know how your saga unfolds. I hope it doesn't get ugly. There's plenty of room on this here planet for all kinds....but please, I would like everyone to follow the rules rather than changing them when it becomes too much trouble to follow them. | |
| I agree with you and yes I am not sure how you shut pandoras box either. It is as well though for the welsh breed that some are prepared to make the effort to find a way. I will certainly keep you posted on things here. I suspect after having judged the animal in question that he has sufficient roaning between his patches to have been allowed as one with sabino roaning. He is a good case study and certainly one that would be gelded and sold as a kids pony quietly somewhere if born in my paddock! | |
| You all were supposed to 'educate' yourselves---
Pinto ponies do NOT drop out of the sky, and YES, they are predictable, more or less like everything else ponywise. Coed Coch Prydydd CAN produce a lot of white markings when bred to the same sort of mares, others are BROCKWELL COBWEB (full brother to Brockwell Spider), COED COCH MADOG, producer of much white. Way back YOUNG RAINBOW MARE, out of YOUNG RAINBOW, by RAINBOW (color?), Coed Coch Seron, who is a great grand daughter of---you got it---COED COCH SEREN. No mystery here. YES, white surely IS predictable, IF---you know where to look. |

| Hi all! I have attached a Newsletter I am sending out to all our members. Page four relates to your problem. I will also send it to anyone else I can think of who may help. What baffles me is that both the American and Canadian Associations seem so convinced they are trying to maintain the pure Welsh breeding? I looked at some Sec D cobs on some of their sites and they look more like overgrown Section B's! Where's the bone? I also read a report in the Green Journal (do you get it by the way?) by a Welsh judge who went over to adjudicate the Nationals last year. Bet he had a shock but was too polite to comment I guess.
