Pony Horse Breeds
Miniature horses, known as Ponies, are popular for both children and other Equestrians!

Throughout their history, Pony breeds have been used as work animals.

They were used for driving, pulling carts, hauling loads (like coal from mines), and as children’s mounts. Ponies are also used for competition, performance, and pleasure riding. Ponies tend to have a smooth comfortable gait, making them a pleasurable riding horse. They are especially popular for children due to their smaller size.They are closer to the ground, and when well trained they are easily controlled and maneuvered. Many excel in equestrian disciplines and the show ring and the top ponies are even competitive against full size horse breeds.
