HandsTraditionally the size of a horse is measured in hands, where a hand equals four inches. The measurement is taken at the withers of the horse.
So,
When is a Horse a Pony? The accepted definition is that under 14.2 hands it's a pony, above 14.2 hands it's a horse. Of course you get ponies that grow more than expected and horses that don't, so it's far from a clear cut division and leads to many grey areas. By tradition Polo ponies are always 'ponies' and Arabs are always 'horses'. Next - clipping.
