ponies
Diminutive stable dwellers
Ponies are small horses, typically standing under 14.2 hands at maturity.
The word often suggests a child's mount or a gentle riding animal.
In British slang, a pony is twenty-five pounds sterling.
In American slang, to pony up is to pay what's owed: Time to pony up for your share of the bill.
A pony is also a small glass for liquor or a crib sheet for cheating on exams.
