A pony wall is a half wall. Its origin dates back to when farmers would build half-wall stables to keep ponies. The ponies could not escape and the farmer could easily utilize it. The pony wall made it easier to tend and feed the pony. The name stuck. A half wall in construction is called a pony wall.

Yep been pointed out in previous post explaining pony wall. At our small family thoroughbred farm, the 135 stalls are standard height.
Eight stalls have 5’ walls, that are used for birthing, so one can watch to make sure foal or mother isn’t in any distress.
However racing thoroughbreds are call “Ponies”. Fun fact splitting the rail on racing day, is still taboo
