Upon activation, Isaac will charge in the next direction he last moved.

Trivia[]
- The 'pony' is actually a hobby horse, a common toy for small children.
- Every Harbinger is riding a hobby horse.
Bugs[]
- If the pony is used but no directional keys are pressed, Isaac is invincible as long as you do not move. This can be exploited as touching enemies damages them or with ranged Items like Epic Fetus as the player can still use the mouse to kill all of the enemies in the room, then deactivate the Pony. If the player needs to reposition while invincible, one method is to drop a bomb, as bombs can still be dropped while the Pony is active. Another approach is to bait an enemy into moving Isaac.
- Using this bug as an exploit can result in Isaac getting pushed completely into a wall. This will result in both Isaac and A Pony's sprite disappearing, all of Isaac's hearts being removed without killing him and enemies in the room not attacking him. If this happens, you must restart your game.
- Moving upwards while carrying A Pony with ??? will show the item's sprite instead of ???'s body.
- If the pony is used against a closed Challenge Room door, Isaac passes through without needing the requirements to open it.
