No, a pony is not a heterogeneous mixture. A pony is a living organism, specifically a small breed of horse, and is considered a pure substance, as it is composed of the same type of matter throughout. Heterogeneous mixtures consist of different substances that are not uniformly distributed.

Mass of a pony
A pony is considered a homogeneous mixture if we are referring to the composition of the pony as a whole. However, if we break down the components of the pony (such as its coat, mane, and tail), then it would be considered a heterogeneous mixture because these components are visibly distinct.

The best type of horse to have as a pet depends on what you want to do with the horse. If you simply want a companion animal that can maybe pull a small cart, then a miniature horse, Shetland pony, or another breed of small pony is usually the best and most economical. If you want something that can be ridden then a medium sized pony on upwards to large draft horses can fill this role.
Dog sizes are sorted into three sizes, small (0-20 lbs.), medium (21-60 lbs.) and large (60+ lbs.). Most dogs fit into the medium category.

a pony is really small it
Answer-Pony Its called a pony or small horse. Mostly if its an Arabian it can be called a horse or small horse or large pony. It is definitley not called a small horse. A horse is a different breed to a pony. It should be called a pony. 14.2 is large pony by hunter and dressage (FEI) standards. 14.2 is pony, and some will argue that 14.3 is even pony (FEI dressage defines pony as 14.3 and under). A horse is not a different breed to pony. Horses and ponies can be the same breed and be totally different sizes. It's all genetics. However there are breeds of ponies and breeds of horses which are entirely different from each other and one another; example: New Forest Pony/Thoroughbred Horse.
Height: The height for this breed is 11 hands. This approximates to 44 inches to the withers of the horse. Average height for horse breeds is 15.0 hands or 60 inches. Therefore, the Shetland Pony is shorter than most horse breeds.
It was High Fashion for regular
A Shetland pony is a very small pony and will quickly be out grown by an 11 year old, so unless you have other very young children who could ride it, or teach it to pull a cart, then I would suggest moving up to a small horse or large pony.
