Ponies are part of the horse

family, but they have shorter legs.

Sometimes they have feathery

hair on the backs of their legs.

Ponies and horses are measured

in hands. A hand is four inches.

An adult pony is less than 14.2

hands high, or 58 inches tall.

Although they are small, ponies

are very strong. People use ponies

for riding and for pulling carts.

Their sturdy bodies can pull

a lot of weight.

Ponies have lived in the wild for

many thousands of years.

Today, some wild ponies live in

protected areas.
