How big do Shetland ponies grow to?

Answer 1

To sart off with there is no such thing as a 14.4 HORSE it goes up to 3 inches not 4. So 14.4 is 15hh (hands high). Ponies get as tall as 14.1 / 2. If the height over towers this ten it is classed a a horse. Note: Ponies live longer than horses do so it would be advisable to get a 14.1/14.2 pony as one moe inch can mean that your horse would die 10 year earlier. I hope this improves other answers.

Answer 2

The International Federation of Equestrian Sports defines a Pony as less that 148 centimetres high at the withers (that is without shoes, 149 cm with shoes) anything larger than that is considered a horse.

Other horse associations may have different standards.

Answer 3

Many organizations define a pony as a mature horse that measures less than 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm) at the withers. So technically the largest "pony" is 58 inches tall. The tallest horses can be about 7 feet tall or 84 inches.

Answer 4

a pony can be anything up to 14 2hh, so i guess anything from 13hh ish is large.

Answer 5

A pony is 14.2hh or smaller and any bigger is called a horse. A pony can be as small as 6hh and horse's can be as big as 22hh!!! Hope this helps.

Answer 6
