She's a pony? Certainly not the runt of the litter. Looks to be a full size horse to me (but then I don't know a lot about horses).

Roughly-
Up to 48" is miniature horse.
49" to 14.2h is pony.
14.3h to 16h is horse.
16.1h and up is draft.

It varies country to country, even person to person...

She's 13.3h, so a firm pony.

I guess she is a fair bit smaller than I thought. Maybe because she looks to be as big as the other "not obviously a pony (to me) based on build" equines you have.

Does that mean you've finally got the saddle fitting properly?

:barnie
She's fat now...
And now they say she needs wider...:he

Husband said he didn't mind the 5th pet horse...ugh, wasn't supposed to be a 4th, let alone 5! :hit

He called her "mean" to a guy. :eek::lol: No, she's a chicken!

Coming back with her little buddy.

Maybe this one is close, then, afterall... No where enough rock for her, though.

Yes, she got a hair cut!
I now know why she had such a short mane when I got her, she just can't keep a long one!!
