If an equine is a pony, it means that it is 14.2 hh or under. Again, it is not the age but the size that makes and equine a pony or a horse. They can be any age and still be a pony.
Some young horses are called foals (any horse under 1yr), yearlings (any horse that's about 1yr), colts, and fillies.
Most horse people consider a horse an adult at age 4 years. Before the age of 4 years a horse is usually referred to as a filly if it is female, or a colt if it is male.
