Some people think a baby horse is called a pony. In fact, a baby horse is called a foal. A foal is a horse that is younger than one year old. A pony can be any age! Ponies have short legs and wider bodies than full-sized horses. Ponies often have thicker manes too! People can ride ponies, just like they can ride full-sized horses.
Foals and ponies are often mistaken with each other because of the fact that they look a lot alike. They are both small. When compared, these two are usually similar in physical looks but not in age. A foal is still a baby horse, while a pony might already be an adult. A foal is a term for a baby horse. They are the horses not more than one year of age. Ponies are a part of the equine family and are naturally short. They have shorter legs and fatter bodies than those of the horses.
