During the Industrial Revolution, ponies were called ‘pit ponies’, as they were used to haul coal.
Ponies and horses have two blind spots where they cannot see. One blind spot is behind them and if they sense someone or something behind them, they will give a powerful kick.
In the wild, ponies often live in harsh, bleak areas such as moors and fields, where they are able to survive with little food.
All members of the horse family have just one toe (a hoof) on each foot. For this reason they are often called ‘odd-toed animals’.
A baby horse of one year or younger is called a foal.
About an hour after a foal is born, it can stand up, and within a few hours it is able to trot along by its mother.
