Some of the most popular breeds of horses are thoroughbred, American saddlebred, racking horse, and quarterhorse. The most popular pony is a shetland pony. The Arabian horse is pretty popular aswell. Shetlands are quite popular and can be seen in a lot of riding schools as field companions for other horses / ponies and small children's riding ponies.
No. Many horses and ponies, like the Shetlands, have the forelock (not "bangs") hanging onto their faces and they don't go blind at all.
Varied heights from shetlands- shires. Ponies are below 14.2hh, and horses above. The tallest horse was a 19 hh shire. the smallest was a 17 inch falabella
pit ponies were shetlands or small hardy ponies that were used in the pits, or mines. they carried tools and coal and things for the miners.

A shetland pony would be the smallest out of a shetland, connemara, or thoroughbred. Shetlands are used for pack horses, and nowadays very popular children's pets because of their fun-loving nature. Shetlands are sometimes considered draft ponies because of their strength despite their small size. --starsun22 the horse maniac
