A pony is represented by the letter u. Throw a pony a treat like a carrot, apple, or a slime mold (but not an orange), and it will become tame (your pet). Pet ponies can be saddled and ridden, giving the player the speed of the pony. Horses and Warhorses are especially fast.

Ponies grow into horses and then into warhorses, the most powerful form.

A knight starts with a tame saddled pony.

A pony has an animal body. It has no hands. It is a herbivore.

While shopping with pets has certain advantages, it might be best to shut your horse out of the shop, especially in deeper levels. Horses are especially vulnerable to mimics and have an innate hostility toward shopkeepers, for whom they are rarely an adequate match.

Encyclopedia entry: pony

       Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?
       Up, down, near or far, here, there or yonder?
       Sharp-ears, Wise-nose, Swish-tail and Bumpkin,
       White-socks my little lad, and old Fatty Lumpkin!

                           [...]

Tom called them one by one and they climbed over the brow and
stood in a line.  Then Tom bowed to the hobbits.

"Here are your ponies, now!" he said.  "They've more sense (in some
ways) than you wandering hobbits have -- more sense in their noses.
For they sniff danger ahead which you walk right into; and if they
run to save themselves, then they run the right way."

King Richard III: A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

Catesby: Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.

King Richard III: Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
                 And I will stand the hazard of the die:
                 I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
                 Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
                 A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

       [ King Richard III, by William Shakespeare ]
