(A horse, then, is 14.2 hands tall or taller.)<\/p>\n<p>While a leading distinction between horses and ponies is usually a matter of how tall they are when mature, there are other common traits that ponies share besides height. For example, many ponies are known for their thick, stocky, conformation as well as long, thick manes, forelocks, and tails. They also commonly have long, shaggy body hair in colder temperatures. All of these traits, however, while being common to ponies aren&#8217;t necessarily accurate to all of them&#8230;&#8230; and some of these traits might even be true for some horses.<\/p>\n<p>There are breeds of ponies. Popular pony breeds include the Shetland, Welsh,\u00a0Connemara, Chincoteague, Pony of the Americas (POA), and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"howToLabels\">Below: A pony with a long, thick, forelock and mane.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/images\/PonyFace01.jpg\" alt=\"Pony with long, thick hair\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<h2>A Little More About Horses and Ponies<\/h2>\n<p>Horses and ponies are both members of the same scientific family (Equus ferus caballus), so the differences between them are purely up to what the people around them decide the differences should be. So, if a horse matures at a height shorter than 14.2 but looks more like a horse than a pony, or if a pony matures at a height of 14.2 or taller but looks more like a pony than a horse, there might be a gray area as to which category, horse or pony, it actually belongs to.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of some breed registries, size doesn&#8217;t even matter. The Caspian horse, for example, typically matures at a height less than 14.2, putting it into the pony height category. However, since Caspian horses are considered to have conformation, gaits, and other traits more like that of a horse than a pony, it is considered to be a horse regardless of its height.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<h3>Pony Saddles vs Youth Saddles<\/h3>\n<p>The main difference between a pony saddle and a youth saddle is the size of the equine the saddle is made to fit:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"noIndent\">\n<li>A pony saddle is built on a saddle tree to fit a pony.<\/li>\n<li>A youth saddle is built on a tree to fit a horse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s not always that simple. For example, while most pony saddles are made with seats and stirrup leathers in sizes and lengths for children, some of them are large enough to carry a small adult.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, while most youth saddles are also designed for younger and\/or smaller riders, some of them can also accommodate smaller adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pony saddle, English or Western, is built on a saddle tree to fit a pony instead of a horse.
