Horse or Pony
The miniature horse traces its lineage to the Shetland pony, Dartmoor pony and various larger horse breeds. While any horse that measures under 14.2 hands is considered a pony, the miniature breed retains certain traits such as gait and temperament that classify it as a small horse.American Shetland Pony Club: [1] -
