Other characteristics to look for include large, kind, widely spaced eyes, a straight to slightly dished profile and a fine muzzle with mottled skin around the eyes and muzzle. The neck should be medium to long with a well-defined throatlatch, slightly arched and well set on the shoulders. Look for good depth through the heart girth, a moderately wide, well-muscled chest, well-defined withers, sloping shoulders and a relatively short, strong back. The croup should be slightly sloping, the hip long, and legs straight, clean and flat boned with good substance. Hooves should be striped and hard. Horses can range from 13 to 17 hands with 14.2 to 15.3 hands, 600 to 1,300 pounds being the most common range. Horses should show a kind disposition and willingness to work and learn as the Walkaloosa is meant to be an outstanding pleasure/trail mount, but also a working field trial, cattle or show horse.

The pure Welsh pony may be any color: black, gray, bay, roan, cream, or chestnut. He can never be piebald or skewbald. Although essential points of conformation can be listed and should be considered, it is the combination of desirable physical characteristics, plus a pony's highly individual personality, plus one's own preference for color, which makes a pony exactly the right pony for any one person. |
