There is no official thing that indicated them as a pony nor a horse, it’s up to you and your headcanon if you wants to call them a horse or whatever you want, i am calling them including Celestia a horse because they are a lot larger than average pony there.

That pic is comparing a foal neck down to a foal standing with neck straight up.
 
That’ll skew the end results, the ponies will be a tad shorter then they would normally be.

Oh, for god’s sake. Why is the most popular defense for battered headcanons also the laziest, most contrived one possible?
 
“You don’t know! It’s a fantasy world!”
 
Shut your mouth or offer an alternative. Comparing our realty to theirs is literally all we can do. It’s not a stretch in any way to make the assumption that one foot equals one foot.
 
And by the way, the concept of small ponies was popularized by the title of the show, not some piece of mediocre fanfiction.

The fact that most measurements come out to this, and the consistency between different ways of creating measurements has convinced me long ago that those are their approximate heights.

Lol MLD was fucking trash, only reason it got popular in the fandom was it was an earlier fic.

this is where people get the correct idea, this puts all arguments to rest.

Well it’s better than trying to make them the height of actual horses, and given how agile they are, and how they don’t break things due to their massive weight, it’s a safe assumption they’re small, that and the name of the show is my LITTLE pony (ponies are already inherently smaller than other horses, so to be a little pony is really small) Lets face it, aside from their cartoon strength on occasion, do they seem horse sized? Have you ever seen a horse accelerate as quickly as they do? NO, because a horse has far more inertia. Do they seem afraid of severely hurting each other by accidentally stepping on each other? No, because they don’t weigh 1,100 lbs! on average.
 
Also, they’re speaking english, all their words mean the same things, a foot (unit length) has a definition regardless of language anyway, it’s already safe to assume an equestrian foot is an earth foot. Would it satisfy you if Twilight said that 1 meter was one 299792458th the distance light travels in one second?
 
 
@PonyPon  
I know right?

@aperture_tech  
What are they using as a matching point though? The assumption that human feet and an Equestrian foot are the same? A passing estimation by Twilight about a candy cane? The overactive imagination of some party pony with the assumption that the numbers on the wall must correspond only to a certain measuring unit?
 
Unfortunately I believe many of the people who do these charts are carried away by the notion of tiny ponies–made popular by My Little Dashie.

@bigladiesman  
I did a size chart once and it came to about that height (the chart involved actual numbers from a ruler in the show!), which matched my personal headcanon which involved a bit of proportion scaling (head size) and selective measurements…due to ulterior motives though.
