  Pony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponies are 14.2 hands (hh) (1.47 m) or smaller, while a horse is anything taller than 14.2 hh.
Small ponies are 12.2 hh and under, medium ponies are over 12.2 but not to exceed 13.2 hh (1.27 to 1.37 m), and large ponies are over 13.2 but not to exceed 14.2 hh (1.37 to 1.47 m).
Ponies trained by children, rather than by experienced horse trainers, turn out to be spoiled because children lack the skill to correct bad habits.

 Breeds of Livestock - Losino Horse
The Losino receives its name from the original area where it is bred, the Losa Valley, in the north of the province of Burgos (Spain).
It is found to be related to other breeds derived from the Cantabrian-Pyrenean branch: the Portuguese Garrano, the Galician pony, the Asturian pony, the Thieldon, the Sorraia, the Navarre horse, the Basque Pottok, the Merens horse and the extinct Catalan horse.
The Losino breed maintained its number until the 50's but afterwards, and principally due to farming mechanization, the crossbreeding with meat breeds and donkey populations for mule production, its population declined to the most critical limits of its history in 1986 (around 30 animals).
