Can a pony or miniature horse survive in the wild?

Best Answers

Yes. Insidious and industrious, ponies thrive in hostile climates, strike fear into the hearts of large horses and have been known to eat human young. Seriously, yes to both. The universal definition of pony is any horse under 14. read more

Miniature horses are more like horses but much smaller. They are much more delicate (less hardy) than most ponies. So, honestly I don’t know if they could survive in the wild and I don’t know of any examples of miniatures living as wild horses. There are plenty of examples of ponies living in the wild for example feral Chincoteague ponies. read more

Physiology. They are horses after all. They have very limited weight bearing capacity and I simply don't know enough about miniature horses to know if they have the same propensity to insulin resistance, Cushing and laminitis as ponies as opposed to the larger breeds. read more

The designation of miniature horse is determined by the height of the animal. There are two registries for Miniature Horses, AMHA (American Miniature Horse Association) and the AMHR (American Miniature Horse Registry). They can not exceed 34" at the last hair of the mane in AMHA. There are two divisions in AMHR - "A" 34" and under and "B" 34"-38". read more
