The animals are very good movers, with calm, kind, gentle, yet lively and energetic temperaments. They have a fine head set on a muscular and arched neck. The back is short and compact, the hindquarters are powerful, and the shoulders nicely sloping. The legs are hooves are tough and strong. The breed comes in any color except appaloosa, and typically stand between 11.2 and 14.2 hh. They excel at show jumping, but also are good at Dressage, general English riding and Western riding. ==
The Welara is an American pony breed, with a registry established in 1981. Popular in Southern California, the breed has a longer history, dating to the 1920s, when Lady Wentworth of the Crabbet Arabian Stud in England began breeding her Arabian stallion Skowronek to Welsh pony mares imported from the Coed Coch stud in North Wales.
