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.

What is the difference between a pony and a foal?

A colt is the the name given to a new born horse 99% of the time but correctly a colt is a baby male horse. A foal is the proper term for a new born. If I were to ask if the horse had a baby I would say has your horse foaled yet? Generally speaking a foal is usually reffered to the new and a couple weeks later then called colt. you will hear a lot of old cowboys refer to the males as horse colts and females just colts. The female young horse is called a filly until she is bred then making her a mare. the male becomes a stud unless castrated then called gelding.

A female horse under 4 years is a filly. A male horse under 4 years is a colt. Any baby horse under a year old is a foal.
