The breeds of horse used on the Pony Express were varied. Breed did not matter so much as the ability of the horse to cross long distances at speed without needing excess water, feed, or care. They had to have strong hooves and be surefooted.That said many of the horses used we actually mustangs, with a few Thoroughbreds and Morgans thrown in.

If a horse is under 14.2hh it is called a Foal Small Horse Miniature Horse Pony?
Answer-Pony Its called a pony or small horse. Mostly if its an Arabian it can be called a horse or small horse or large pony. It is definitley not called a small horse. A horse is a different breed to a pony. It should be called a pony. 14.2 is large pony by hunter and dressage (FEI) standards. 14.2 is pony, and some will argue that 14.3 is even pony (FEI dressage defines pony as 14.3 and under). A horse is not a different breed to pony. Horses and ponies can be the same breed and be totally different sizes. It's all genetics. However there are breeds of ponies and breeds of horses which are entirely different from each other and one another; example: New Forest Pony/Thoroughbred Horse.
