[QUOTE="Sierra2Sea, post: 1755254, member: 42712"] Hi! Thanks for your note. There is actually a qualitative measure which separates "ponies" from "horses" in most circles. If the small horse is less than 14.2 hands high it is considered a pony. However, in slang terms many of us horse owners call our horses "ponies" as a term of endearment. Polo horses are called ponies and they are NOT short. It really depends on the area ones lives and the discipline in which they participate. I know some small cutting horses that technically would be ponies but we call them horses. I always find it funny when people call "mini" horses ponies. They are not. Also, people think young horses (foals, yearlings, etc.) are ponies. I often have to correct these people. I will definitely be depending on reputable, professionals in this business.
