is under 14.3. Anything above 14.3 a horse. Any breed can produce a pony sized animal.
Miniature horses are called horses because they were "bred down" to the size they are without the use of any of the pony breeds...or so the story goes.
Miniature horse people like the idea of miniatures as a small horse as opposed to a pony hence the name. However, from a technical standpoint, based only on height, they are a pony.
No. A pony is defined as a horse generally 14.2 hands (58 inches/145cm) high at the withers or less when fully grown. The young of a horse has 3 names: "filly" if it is female, "colt" if it is male, or "foal" to refer to either sex.
Ponies are required to be smaller than 14.2 hands (58 inches) at the withers when full grown. Some pony breeds may grow taller than this, but then they cannot be shown as ponies and are considered horses.
No. A pony is a full grown horse that is only 14.3 handss high or under.
a "pony" can only be 14.2 hands to be called a pony. Any higher and it would be a horse.
it is the same as a big horses name, it is called a mare
A pony of America is an Appolosa (Spotted horse) and a Shetland Pony mixed. This makes them a category b miniature pony which is a full grown horse and a Shetland Pony mixed. sorry but no a POA is not an appoloosa and its not mixed with shetland pony it is like and appoloosa but not the same A POA is 57 inches or under and has to have spots striped hooves scelera and mottled skin.
when a horse is full grown it is 5- 6 years old
It varies from breed to breed. A healthy full grown horse (regardless of gender) can be anywhere from 800 to 2000 pounds, depending on breed, height, and the workload to feed ratio.
A short horse (under 14.2 hands) would be called a pony. But this is not true if they're are still young because they're still growing. If they're fully grown and they're under 14.2 hh they would be classified as a pony, if not they're classified as a horse. I hope this helps
a full grown pony shouldn't go over about 14 hands. adult horses usually go to about 17 at the highest.
Horses and ponies are considered full grown at the age of five.

A horse has to be over 14.3 hands(hh) and a pony is under 14.2hh.( a hand is about the size of a grown persons hand.
Miniature horse. Full grown, they're no bigger than a small pony. 86-97cm, so just about a meter.
Horses do not have [ponies they have foals. A pony is just a small and slightly different build of horse. Horses typically give birth to one foal at a time, though they can have twins, but it is very rare.
A horse 14.2 hands high and under at full growth is called a pony.
When it reaches puberty
A pony does not "become a horse." Contrary to popular belief, a pony is NOT a baby horse, but rather an entirely different species. A baby pony grows up to be an adult pony, and a baby horse (a 'filly' if female, a 'foal' if male) grows up to be an adult horse ('stallion' if male and not gelded, a 'gelding' if male and gelded, and a 'mare' if female.) The non-gender specific term for a baby horse is a 'colt'. I assume that your question was meant to be, "when does a baby horse become an adult?" and the answer to that is indefinite. Generally, horses begin 'breaking in' (being trained to wear tack and carry riders) at sometime over 2 years. The general point at which horses reach sexual maturity is around 2 and a half years, though this varies between different genders.
Ok, a foal is a baby horse/pony. For an equine to be classified as a pony it has to be 14.2 hand high and under at full growth.
That answer depends on the breed. For example the miniature horse is only 3 feet when full grown, but the Clydesdale cam be five feet or more when full grown
