(very) basically. The only difference between the A/C/D should be height (although the A's are obviously more pony like).
The B's are a bit more of a lithe type. Same height as the Section C's.

Yes, welsh cobs are beautiful, and very sensitive. It is very easy to mess one up. But understand them and build a strong bond and you will have a horse that will take you anywhere. Kelly Marks says that the welsh cob keps her RAs in business!
Mine too - but she can get excitable when doing fast work/jumping so you need to get her attention rather than getting heavy handed otherwise she'll throw a strop and quite rightly too! No problem for someone who knows her ways but could lead to problems for someone who doesn't think beyond giving firmer aids!
