If a pony is gelded before 5 years old is it considered still a pony or a horse?
a pony that is gelded. gelded is when you fix a male equine! It would be called a pony gelding. Pony refers to the size of the equine (less than 54 inches in height for most associations). Many people think the word pony mean young like in foal, but there are horse foals and pony foals. many old timers cal a stallion /stud a "horse where as they would always call a mare or a gelding by those terms and never call a mare or gelding a "horse". You see this in a lot of old time Standardbred racing folk, where on a race program the sex is listed as either mare, gelding or horse (horse meaning non-gelded male or stallion)
Will a pony be a full grown horse?
No. A pony is not a horse at all. It is a member of the Equine family but it is not a horse. Here are your classifications, you have a miniature horse which is any horse under 48 inches of height, then you have a pony which stands at a height of anywhere between 14.2 hands and 48 inches, then you have your regular horse that is anything about 14.2 hands.So I have a little different take on this thread. A pony is any animal (horse) that 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.
