I hope I'm not too late. I'm on the West Coast, so I'm three hours behind everyone.
PONY
YEAHHHHH
I googled Pony on Google, and here are the first five things that come up.
1. Pony Baseball and Softball, an international youth sports organization at pony.org
2. Pony, a manufacturer of genuine footwear, apparel, and accessories that give you an edge. That's pony.com
3. My Little Pony. Awwww. Toy ponies in a variety of happy colors.
4. The Stone Pony, bar and concert venue in Asbury Park, NJ.
5. The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. The leading junior equestrian organization in the world. They're all about the horsies.
I also looked up pony in the American Heritage Dictionary. . .
