A pony cannot be classified as a horse - they're two distinct things. Ponies are supposed to be below 14.2 hands, and while there are many horses who fall below this mark, they're still classified as horses and not ponies. In addition to height, if you look at ponies as compared to horses, they tend to be thicker - especially in the head and barrel. There are very distinctive conformation traits present in ponies.
