no, they have diffrent conformation that's why they are called miniature HORSES
I read your question and i got kind of confused. Do you mean horses? Well, if you do, then horses and ponies may look the same, but there is a small difference that no one barely pays attention too. And that is size. Horses are measured in hands, 4 inches per hand. A pony is 14.2 hands and under. A horse is 14.3 hands and taller.

∙ 13y agoTechnically, horses standing under 14.2 hh at the whithers when full-grown are considered ponies. However, there are some exceptions. Some arabians, being a small breed, will stand under 14.2 hh yet still be considered a horse.
A good way to tell a pony besides that he is short is their build. they tend to have short legs and thick necks. Full manes and feathers (hair around the hoof) are also characteristics of some ponies. Draft horses also have this build, although they are much taller than a pony.

If a horse is under 14.2hh it is called a Foal Small Horse Miniature Horse Pony?
Answer-Pony Its called a pony or small horse. Mostly if its an Arabian it can be called a horse or small horse or large pony. It is definitley not called a small horse. A horse is a different breed to a pony. It should be called a pony. 14.2 is large pony by hunter and dressage (FEI) standards. 14.2 is pony, and some will argue that 14.3 is even pony (FEI dressage defines pony as 14.3 and under). A horse is not a different breed to pony. Horses and ponies can be the same breed and be totally different sizes. It's all genetics. However there are breeds of ponies and breeds of horses which are entirely different from each other and one another; example: New Forest Pony/Thoroughbred Horse.
