The average size of a horse is about 14.3 to 18 hands high, but it really depends on the breed. Same with a pony, but the largest size of a pony can be 14.2, or else it would be considered a horse.

∙ 15y agoA regular horse is between 14.2 and 16.2 hands high. A normal riding horse is usually between 14 and 16 hands high. A horse below 14.2hh is technically called a pony, but many people find shorter horses more comfortable to ride and easier to mount. (It is very difficult to climb onto a 16hh horse without a mounting block!) However, a taller horse has a longer stride and can run faster and jump higher than a short one. This is why most sport horse breeds are usually very tall. Riding horses are usually crossbreds and their height will depend on what breeds are in their pedigree.

∙ 13y agoAt 14.2 HH a pony becomes a horse. So from 14.2HH up the equine is considered 'horse'. Some of the biggest horses can reach 19 or 20 HH. That's a pretty big horse.
