What is the difference between a horse and a pony? Is a pony just a small horse?

A horse is considered a pony if it is less than 14.2 hands tall.

A horse's height is measured from the bottom of the front feet to the top of the shoulders. The unit of measure for the height of a horse is a "hand," which is 4 inches, the approximate width of the hand of an adult, including the thumb.
