Horses and ponies are measured in hands (like we're measured in feet - hh=hands high).

The smallest size a horse can be is 14.3hh. Anything above that is a horse. A medium horse is about 15.2hh.

Anything 14.2hh or below is a pony, apart from the Falabella which is actually classed as a horse and is the smallest equine animal there is.

There is no limit to how big a horse is. A horse would be considered big at about 16.2hh and over.
