Introduction
Ponies are the pet that many girls and boys long for. They are in TV shows and movies, in books and on stickers. But what exactly is the animal like, and what makes a pony a pony?
They actually have long had use in many parts of the world not always as a beloved pet, but as a work horse. Ponies are strong, and they are used by many different peoples, from Tibetans to the British.
As an animal, they are easier to take care of than horses in some ways. For instance, they consume less food than horses; they are also not able to jump as high.
Ponies have been around for almost as long as any nation can remember. Ponies were ridden by Eurasian Steppe peoples (such as the Huns or Mongols) and they have long been kept by both nomad peoples and sedentary (meaning people who live in one place, such as a city or a farm) peoples.
The pony is a staple of the farm around the world, and if ponies had not existed, those at the corners of civilization would have had a much harder time getting by.
