The Quarter Ponies are Quarter Horses that are below the 14.2 height requirement that was later phased out, but the Quarter Pony continued. The Quarter Pony allows not only solid colored ponies for registration but also those with various colors and color patterns. The Quarter Ponies range on average 13.2 to 14 hh. These ponies have gentle dispositions and are great riding ponies for children. The Quarter Ponies have a broad head, deep chested, and short saddle back.
