Answer:
According to the ASPCA (The American Society fo the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals),
a pony is defined by size. If a horse is under 14.2 hands, he or she is a pony. However, definitions will vary by entity, and a different definition may apply for purposes of horse show
eligibility, and others.
