    Height alone does not determine if an equine is classified as a horse or pony, as some breeds can produce both under and over 14.2 hands. Pony breeds typically have thicker coats and manes, shorter and stockier legs, wider barrels, heavier bone, shorter and thicker necks, and short heads with broad foreheads compared to horses. Temperament and intelligence also play a role, as ponies are often calmer and highly intelligent. Size is not the only factor, as the small Shetland pony is classified as a pony while miniature horses under 30 inches are still considered very small horses.

    Height is not the sole criterion for distinguishing horses from ponies.

    Breed registries for horses that


    typically produce individuals both under and over 14.2 h consider all animals of that breed to be
    horses regardless of their height.[33]Conversely, some pony breeds may have features in common
    with horses, and individual animals may occasionally mature at over 14.2 h, but are still considered
    to be ponies.[34]

    Ponies often exhibit thicker manes, tails, and overall coat. They also have proportionally shorter
    legs, wider barrels, heavier bone, shorter and thicker necks, and short heads with broad foreheads.
    They may have calmer temperaments than horses and also a high level of intelligence that may or
    may not be used to cooperate with human handlers. [29]Small size, by itself, is not an exclusive
    determinant. For example, the Shetland pony which averages 10 hands (40 inches, 102 cm), is
    considered a pony.[29] Conversely, breeds such as the Falabella and other miniature horses, which
    can be no taller than 30 inches (76 cm), are classified by their registries as very small horses, not
    ponies.[35
