They are usually classified as horses. From Wiki: They are small horses, generally standing 1.35–1.50 metres (13.1–14.3 hands).

I have seen them being called ponies now and then, but Wiki doesn’t. The problem is how to define a pony. Even if you only take the size in account, different people and organizations disagree. Again I quote from Wiki:
A pony is a small horse[1][2][3] (Equus ferus caballus). Depending on context, a pony may be a horse that is under an approximate or exact height at the withers, or a small horse with a specific conformation and temperament. And: In modern use, many organizations define a pony as a mature horse that measures less than 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm) at the withers, but there are a number of exceptions. Different organizations that use a strict measurement model vary from 14 hands (56 inches, 142 cm) to nearly 14.3 hands (59 inches, 150 cm). Many breeds classify an animal as either horse or pony based on pedigree and phenotype, no matter its height. Some full-sized horses may be called "ponies" for various reasons of tradition or as a term of endearment. It’s certainly not a pony like the Shettie. And remember that the worlds’s smallest horse, the Argentinian Falabella, is considered a minature horse and not a pony. I knew I should have chosen Siberian Husky or Alaskan Malamute instead (both of them are "snow dogs"). |

Loaded? This is not a pink elephant!
Two more hints: These horses are always grey, and the bird that was the answer to the last question nests in the area that the horse is named after. |

Come to think of it, loaded also means "filthy rich", and it’s NOT the Ferrari horse, in case you wondered.
