Again this is a matter of present debate, but I understand that a Sports Pony is one step removed from the Riding Pony and often includes the Welsh Section B in its close parentage. It may be produced by a combination of horse genes and pony genes in its parentage, and therefore not truly be a pony. However, inBritain, we would probably consider the GRP to be the ultimate Sports Pony, as its success in FEI level dressage is second to none and its rise in FEI eventing continues as the Germans turn their attentions to this discipline.
