Pony
Pony, any
of several breeds of small horses standing less than 14.2 hands (147
cm, or 58 inches) high and noted for gentleness and endurance. Among the
common pony breeds are the Shetland, whose docile nature and good
endurance make it desirable as a pack animal and a riding horse for
children; the Welsh, a hardy breed with fine endurance and style; the
Welsh Cob, noted for its high-stepping action; the Exmoor and Dartmoor,
native to the moors of Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, England, and now
used to breed polo ponies; and the Highland, a thick, gray saddle
animal.
