Defining Characteristics
Some differences between horses and ponies may not be as easy to spot as the size. Horses and ponies often have very different temperaments. Ponies tend to be more stoic and intelligent than larger horses. Its a mistake to see this as docility. They can be quite wily which is why its sometimes easier to find a quiet horse for a child than a reliable pony. Ponies are very adept at avoiding work and withstanding the consequences. Horses can be quieter and often the larger the breed the more docile they are. This depends largely on what the horse breed was developed for.

Ponies are incredibly strong for their size. They can pull or carry heavy loads with more strength than a horse relative to their size. They are hardier than horses and can withstand greater ranges in temperature. Their coats tend to grow thicker in the winter and often dont shed out until the hottest days of summer. They begin to grow back their thick coats as soon as the days start to shorten. Ponies have thicker manes and tails. Their hooves tend to be tougher. They are heavierboned and shorterlegged in proportion to their bodies compared to horses.

Ponies also tend to live longer than horses. Its not unusual for ponies to live beyond 30 years of age and many world record holders for the oldest equines are ponies. Many ponies are still used for riding and driving into their late 20s.
