Ponies are small horses with a compact build. Despite their size, they are strong and can be very quick. Their temperament varies from one pony to another.
Ponies come in many coat colours and patterns, including white, black, brown and grey, as well as combinations of these colours. Some have distinctive markings.
Ponies are intelligent animals that can develop close relationships with people. With appropriate training, they can take part in activities such as jumping, trail riding and competitions. Caring for a pony requires suitable facilities, knowledge and a long-term commitment.
