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.

When your leading your horse what should you do if it doesnt move?
It depends. Horses are trained differently. Where I ride, the riders kiss and that is the horse's cue to move. You could smack your horse, not too hard, on it's behind, but be careful if your horse is known to rear or kick easily. You don't want to do this if your horse is easily annoyed. Also, if you lean in to your horse as hard as you can, then it really has little choice to move so it doesn't fall over. I hope this helped you!
