A Shetland Pony A pony is any of several different horse breeds with a specific conformation and temperament. By definition, ponies measure less or equal to 14.2 hands high (hh) (1.47 meters or 4.83 feet) at the withers, where one hand is equal to approximately four inches. However, the term "pony" can be used in general (or affectionately) for any small horse, regardless of its actual size or breed. Compared to horses, ponies often exhibit thicker manes, tails and overall coat, as well as proportionally shorter legs, wider barrels, heavy bone, thick necks, and short heads with broad foreheads. For showing purposes, ponies are often grouped into small, medium, and large sizes. Small ponies are 12.2 hh (1.27 meters or 4.17 feet) and under, medium ponies are over 12.2 but no taller than 13.2 hh (1.37 meters or 4.5 feet), and large ponies are over 13.2 hh but no taller than 14.2 hh (1.47 meters or 4.83 feet). The pony originated from original wild horse prototypes that developed small stature due to living on the margins of livable horse habitat. These smaller animals were domesticated and bred for various purposes, especially in Britain and Ireland. Ponies were historically used as "pit ponies" hauling loads of coal up from the mines, for driving and freight transport, as children's mounts, for recreational riding, and later as competitors and performers in their own right. Larger ponies can be ridden by adults, as ponies are usually very strong. Ponies are generally considered intelligent, though sometimes said to be stubborn, contemptuous, or devious. The situation may result from individual ponies' lack of proper training. Ponies trained by children, rather than by experienced horse trainers, usually turn out to be spoiled because children typically lack the skill to correct bad habits. Properly trained ponies can be appropriate mounts for children who are learning to ride. However, it is often accepted that ponies tend to be more difficult to handle than many horse breeds, despite their small size. Some equine breeds are not considered ponies, even when they measure under 14.2 hh, due to ..."

| Varsity Scouts of the Boy Scouts of America preparing to hit the trail A backpacker packs all of his or her gear into a backpack. This gear must include food, water, and shelter, or the means to obtain them, but very little else, and often in a more compact and simpler form than one would use for stationary camping. A backpacking trip must include at least one overnight stay in the wilderness (otherwise it is a day hike). Many backpacking trips last just a weekend (one or two nights), but long-distance expeditions may last weeks or months, sometimes aided by planned food and supply drops. Backpacking camps are more spartan than ordinary camps. In areas that experience a regular traffic of backpackers, a hike-in camp might have a fire ring and a small wooden bulletin board with a map and some warning or information signs. Many hike-in camps are no more than level patches of ground without scrub or underbrush. In very remote areas, established camps do not exist at all, and travelers must choose appropriate camps themselves. In some places, backpackers have access to lodging that are more substantial than a tent. In the more remote parts of Great Britain, bothies exist to provide simple (free) accom..."
