I don't know where my answer (about Haflingers and Welsh cobs, breeds that can be either horses or ponies) disappeared!

It seems the rules have changed recently. However, ponies may compete at senior (horse) events, but horses may not compete in pony events.

"Although the FEI's definition of a pony remains unchanged - 148cm without shoes or 149cm shod, a pony is permitted to stand a full two cm higher at competitions. "We have, however, taken into consideration the fact that measuring ponies at competition creates a different set of circumstances which may lead to fluctuation in height and following much consultation with the relevant technical committees we have allowed for a margin of 2cm," said the FEI spokesperson.

But the margin does not quell British Dressage's anxieties. "It is quite a small margin - from my experience a horse can grow more than two centimetres at a competition," the British Dressage spokesperson explained. "

EDIT: Oops, I got confused and thought French was the target language (oh boy!) :o

According to Wikipedia, a generic name, rather than a single breed:
