ponied
Settled the debt
Ponied is the past tense of pony, most often appearing in the phrase pony up—to pay or settle a debt, often reluctantly: He finally ponied up the money he owed.
The image suggests producing something on demand, like leading out a horse.
Less commonly, ponied describes being provided with a pony or riding one.
