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.

Do ponies grow into horses?
A pony does not "become a horse." Contrary to popular belief, a pony is NOT a baby horse, but rather an entirely different species. A baby pony grows up to be an adult pony, and a baby horse (a 'filly' if female, a 'foal' if male) grows up to be an adult horse ('stallion' if male and not gelded, a 'gelding' if male and gelded, and a 'mare' if female.) The non-gender specific term for a baby horse is a 'colt'. I assume that your question was meant to be, "when does a baby horse become an adult?" and the answer to that is indefinite. Generally, horses begin 'breaking in' (being trained to wear tack and carry riders) at sometime over 2 years. The general point at which horses reach sexual maturity is around 2 and a half years, though this varies between different genders.
