The First Answer(but this is incorrect):all breeds can have an Appaloosa pattern and if they do that makes them an Appaloosa as well as there other breed besides a Frisian.The Second Answer:(This one is correct, but I probably missed a few breeds)Other than the Appaloosa, some appy patterned breeds I know are the Knabstrup, the Pony Of The Americas (POA), and the Tiger horse, which the Appaloosa actually desended from.
Appaloosas can be various sizes according to the registry or association that registers them, but yes there are appaloosa ponies.
There is no difference between a pony and horse halter. All it is is the size. So, tipically, they are both called halters.
They all vary in size, just like any other breed. It also depends on the blood lines, but most are around 15.1 hands.
