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

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."

The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien
