A pony is represented by the letter u. Throw a pony a treat like a carrot or apple (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.
