YES THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT HORSES HAVE A MUCH BIGER BUILD TO THERE BODIES AND I WOULD SAY PONIES ARE DEFINETLEY MORE SMALLER THEN HORSES. yes, ponies are different. any person who doesn't have a clue about horses will say it is a baby horse, but it isn't. a pony is typically considered below 14.3 hands. Some are now using body build to determine if it is a pony or a horse.
Yes. A pony usually has a heavier, more draft-like build and is under 14.2hh with few exceptions.
