Well, for the real reason why it's called "My Little Pony" I suppose we'd have to ask someone who was actually involved with the development of the original toys back in the '80s.

As for the ages of characters, I think both Twilight and Cheerilee have called the younger ponies "My Little Ponies", so the word "little" does seem to have at least some correlation with age in Equestrian terms.

As for why they are not called horses, one can easily use Google to discover the differences between ponies and horses.
