How strong is a pony?

Ponies can be surprisingly strong. While exact measurements vary depending on the breed, a pony that weighs 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms) can typically pull approximately 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms). This means a pony can pull a load equal to 1.5 times its own weight. For comparison, the average draft horse can typically pull 3 times its own weight. It is important to always supervise a pony pulling weights.
