The collective noun for ponies is a string of ponies. A string of ponies is traditional for a group of ponies owned or bred, usually for a particular purpose. That collective doesn't apply to all situations where there may be a group of ponies. Random groups of ponies could be found in many situations, a corral of ponies, a parade of ponies, a family of ponies; or even more fanciful, a pile of ponies, a party of ponies, or a plethora of ponies.

A pony cannot be classified as a horse - they're two distinct things. Ponies are supposed to be below 14.2 hands, and while there are many horses who fall below this mark, they're still classified as horses and not ponies. In addition to height, if you look at ponies as compared to horses, they tend to be thicker - especially in the head and barrel. There are very distinctive conformation traits present in ponies.
No. Misty of Chincoteague is a Chincoteague Pony.
there are two stories: (1) a spanish galleon crashed in a storm off the coast of chincoteague and the ponies that were aboard swam to shore and (2) the early settlers of assateague let their ponies graze there and after years and years there were reports of wild "beach ponies" on the island. When the settlers moved to chincoteague, the wild ponies stayed. And those were the ancestors of today's chincoteague ponies.
Chincoteague ponies are found in a little island on the side of Virginnia. Chincoteague Ponies are actually found on the small island off the east side of Virginia and Maryland. The island's name is Assateague, so it's ironic that the ponies are called Chincoteague ponies instead of Assateague ponies.
chincoteague ponys eat the tall grasses that grow on the island.
In 1925, they held the first annual roundup of the Assateague (Chincoteague) ponies. This is called the Chincoteague pony swim. During this, they swim a herd of the ponies across the Assateague Channel (inbetween Assateague Island and Chincoteague Island). When they reach the shore of Chincoteague, the ponies are put in pens. Then, before they swim them back to Assateague Island, they hold an auction to sell some of the ponies. This helps to decrease the population of the wild ponies. The money that they raise from these auctions helps to fund the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department, whose firemen are the ones who round up and swim the ponies across the channel.
Chincoteague Ponies are sold so that they can keep the herd under control and so that the herds don't get so big that there isan't enough food for them all.
They live on Assateague Island, and every year they are rounded up, made to swim across the channel over to Chincoteague island, where some are auctioned in order to maintain the number of horses on the island. the rest are released back onto Assateague to live in the wild for another year.
Chincoteague ponies
Chincoteague ponies are normally between 13 and 15 hands tall (52-60 inches at the wither).
chincoteague is the populated yet smaller island while assateague is home to the ponies and much much bigger.
I've heard that a ship from Europe (maybe Spain?) was on its way to Mexico. The ponies were to be given as a gift to a Viceroy or (something like that). The ship was destroyed during a bad storm off of the Virginia coast. The ponies managed to swim to safety and generation after generation, they've managed to survive.
One is that they protect their young and their herd better then domestic horses do
