Horses under 14 hands are ponies.
That's it and there is nothing to it a horse/pony measuring exactly 14.2 hands has the option over being a horse or a pony.
A short horse (under 14.2 hands) would be called a pony. But this is not true if they're are still young because they're still growing. If they're fully grown and they're under 14.2 hh they would be classified as a pony, if not they're classified as a horse. I hope this helps
Just over 12.1 hands.
They won't kick you out if your horse is over 14.2 hh. But Pony Club is for young or junior riders, so there is age limits for riders.
Horses are measured in 'Hands'. Each hand is 4 inches You write it like this: 12.1hh. One inch higher would be 12.2hh. another inch higher is 12.3hh. But, one more inch taller, and it goes to the next highest number: 13hh If they are under 14.2hh then they are a pony, if they are over, they are a horse.
Depending on what breed of horse and what breed of pony, there may be a specific name for the crossbred. For example, Arabians and Welsh crosses are called Welaras. Some crossbreds are just "grade" horses or ponies, and would be classified by their adult height. 14.2 hh (58" at the whithers, or highest point of the shoulder) is the upper height limit for most pony breeds. Anything under 14.2 is a pony, anything over is a horse.
