The term "horse" and "pony" are based on the size of the equine. A "pony" is any equine that is 14.2 hands high or less. A "horse" is any equine that is greater than 14 hands high.

One hand is equal to four inches, therefore:

Pony: is anything at or less than 58"

Horse: is anything greater than 58"
