Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A horse is a large-sized grazing mammal, highly domesticated and largely used by man for various purposes. Economically, it is one of the most viable domesticated animals.  

    A male horse is called a stallion and a female is called a mare. A young horse is called a foal.

    A pony is used to refer to a particular breed of a small horse. It is of northern European descent. Its size measures less than 14.2 hands high (hh) at the topmost point on the back, i.e. the withers.

      Many people call any horse under 14 hands a pony, while under 12 hands is a shetland or minature.
