"Please do not change the current standards. To make the proposed change will forever change an ancient breed that has worked hard to preserve their centuries-old characteristics."
"This comes up for discussion every 10 years and the strong feeling in the past is to preserve the 100 year standard of the Welsh. This should not change."
"I feel deeply that this decision deserved a full vote of the membership. I vote to reinstate the original rule #6."
"If rule #6 is changed, cross bred ponies could be registered as purebreds and the breed will go the way other breeds have done. In some breeds, you can't recognize a purebred horse because of all the crosses allowed. The Welsh is currently highly recogniz"
"You have my complete and total support. It was a hugh mistake. Have alsway been agains it. It seem as though it snuck thru without most of knowing about it. Not that we have ANY SAY!!! I was against it years ago when it was brought up and I wrote le"
"please keep the rules and standards intact"
"This fad is "pushed" by the almighty dollar rather than for the good of the breed"
"This is an obvious attempt to railroad through a rule without consulting the general membership. there is no need to change the rule. There are plenty of other registries that will accept these spotted ponies. We should not."
"Unless all national Welsh Pony and Cob Associations agree to the change in Rule #6, I do not believe that this rule should be changed."
"It is important to keep the old breed standards - that is what keeps the Welsh so pure and special. "
"I think the Welsh Pony & Cob should remain a solid color breed and refrain from breeding fads."
"I have watched too many breeds make alterations to the original standard, most of to their detriment."
"I am totally for preserving the breed standard. I think that any major rule change such as this change, needs further input from the membership. "
"it seems the board is ready and willing to dilute the breed. Why do we work to recognize welsh ponies if now we drop breed standards that have held true for so long? I disagree with rule #6 being nullified."
"The Registration Rule #6 should absolutely be reinstated. By accepting registration of broken color coat ponies we are lowering the high standards and the long history and rich tradition of our Welsh Ponies. It is vital that this rule #6 be reinstated!"
