How old were you when you learned a pony wasn’t a baby horse?
- Thread starter Chaos Legion
- Start date
I think I was like 5 when I first rode on a pony and asked the person how old it was and they said 20 or something.
But... So... Are baby horses just called baby horses?
What about Ponyta and Rapidash?
Ponyta is a younger Rapidash!
The world doesn't make sense to me anymore!😩

Oh, trust me... it makes perfect sense for this guy to be unaware regarding such things, I have no idea whether or not that is the case but I've been very much convinced he's a high-functioning autistic person from the very first day I met him. He loves mathematics, high fantasy and science fiction novels and board games and is extremely knowledgeable about these matters. Anything else he's often clueless about. The tuna thing came up because there was a "tuna boat" as a part of a board game we were playing in our weekly board game meet and he though the idea was silly which caught all us by surprise when he explained why. The pasta thing came about one one of the members of my board gaming group started on her path to veganism and a guy was saying he could never give up meat as he didn't like vegetables to which Mr. Pasta Tuna Math Guy promptly replied that he was wrong as he had notice Mr. I-don't-like-vegatbles Guy almost always had pasta for dinner in our monthly events and pasta was a vegetable. Again, stunned us all.
There's a ton more stuff like this... for example, when we won the 2016 UEFA Euro competition he completely failed to notice it, despite living right next to one of the places where the celebrations were held (check this video, he lives on the yellowish building you see on the right there at the 03:50 mark in the video right next to the huge crowd and this kind of extremely intense celebrating went on for almost two whole days before subsiding).
That's what I don't get, what's a miniature horse? Like how can you ridicule someone for knowing what a foal is but not knowing a pony isn't the same thing when they have things like miniature horses that aren't considered ponies.
Like Lil' Sebastian was a miniature horse, right (poor Ben)?

Honestly can't remember. I grew up rural, so there were all kinds of horses in the area. Some were ponies. They were different kinds of horse. Some where foals. They were baby horses. And some were pony foals. They were adorable baby horses.
I bought a horse in a nightclub at 2am a couple of years ago, but it turned out to be a pony. I learned the difference within a few weeks of that, though I knew a baby horse was a foal.
He jumps as high as any horse, and there is only 1cm difference before he would be considered a horse anyway, so I just refer to him as a horse usually. Besides, saying you bought a pony in a nightclub makes for a much less fun story somehow.

I (as always) blame the French:

Yeah and the funny thing about language is that if enough people believe that a pony is a baby horse then it will just have a second definition from the technical one.
I mean, c'mon, guys... These PONIES were adults with JOBS.
Well the Paw Patrol have jobs, drive vehicles (including aircraft and construction vehicles) and can talk, but as far as I know puppies are still baby dogs. If they aren't, don't tell me, I don't want to know.
So ponies are just a small breed of horses?
I never call a baby horse a pony but I kinda thought they were the same. Or maybe not... Honestly, I'm confused.

I learned narwhals existed because of the meme song. They don't teach about them in my country and I'm sure that if I go and ask people about them very few will know what they are.
It actually was back when I first started watching My Little Pony, in 2011. It was when they showed Granny Smith and Mayor Mare, both elderly ponies with gray hair*. I was like, "Woah, old baby horses? This shit's wild." But then I had an inkling in the back of my mind and looked up what a pony actually is.
* Mayor Mare was later revealed to be dying her hair gray and it's naturally pink.

So, serious, important question, is Celestia not a pony? (I think her sisters or whatever are also a bit bigger than the normal Pony)
