"Reinstate Rule#6 in full. The entire Member/breeders should have been able to have some input not just a few self-serving and possibly conflect of interest board members."
"Body spots are a very dominant genetic characteristic. The QH registry was able to create the paint registry, with many almost pure white horses, in just a few generations by breeding horses with only small body spots and high white stockings. They only"
"I have never liked the excessive white & do not think it should be allowed - If they want Pintos/Paints then they can switch breeds."
"I am not happy about rule change. Reinstate Rule #6"
"I believe that adding this new law will alter the Welsh Pony standards and would change the breed in the future possibly in a negative way, thus hurting the beauty and type of pony we love and know today."
"What a shame to have this done to our Welsh breed. I can only imagine it to be detrimental to not only the wonderful breed but to our sales of Welsh as hunter ponies."
"Keep the standards as they do in the UK"

"I beleive by that rule change that the BOD has benefitted themselves and the ponies they breed not the Welsh Pony Breed. They are selfish and should be voted off the board."
"It is my feeling that we should do as much as we can to restrict loud white markings on our ponies and cobs. There is an argument that some of the original old hill stock had far more white than the animals one sees in the show ring today, but there is a "
"I am supporting this petition, for 2 reasons: First, I FIRMLY believe changes like this should go through the membership only. Second, I will only support it,if a section is put in the breed standards specifically for the white issue, as I also believe t"
"I am against the change. There was not enough thought in this and the membership should have had a say in what is right and wrong for the Welsh Breed that I choose as a breeder to Breed and Promote."
"after being notified about the disgraceful rule change of welsh cobs in the U.S.A i was exetremely shocked. rules for a horse/pony that originates from the U.K should have to use the same rules of showing set by the U.K!! in all my years i have never hear"
"Welsh aren't pinto."
"This rule should not be changed under any circumstances"
"Needs to stay as is - why change what has been a historical part of the breed for so long. "
"I am a Walsh Pony Judge and I am against the rule change to allow paints."
