This is the best example I can think of to explain the difference. a pony is like a person that may be considered short and small of frame (petite) where as a miniature horse is like a person with dwarfism...a mutation of genes stunting growth. ( although I dont believe a horse can give birth to a miniature horse.)

A:You have that switched around. Yes, it is confirmation, but a miniature horse is like a very small horse-they have the same proportion of legs to body to head, or they are suposed to. Compared to horses, ponies often exhibit thicker manes, tails and overall coat, as well as proportionally shorter legs, wider barrels, heavier bone, thicker necks, and shorter heads with broader foreheads.
