Ponies, ponies, and more ponies...

I'm more curious as to why people call them ponies and not horses... or donkeys.

I hope Heavensward will introduce different type of mounts and not rehash dragons only with different skins.

i want more beast type mounts

Always!
I wanna be with you...
And make believe with you...
And live in harmony harmony oh love...

Let's face it. Riding a Horse in any game is great.

Because they are very bright colours and they sparkle as well as being magically created by Primals from the base of a sacrificed Nightmare.
^ Not really the definition of a Horse. The PvP Mounts however are usually refereed to as 'Steeds' or 'PvP Horse'


I hope they get wings once they are changed to flying mounts personally. I'd do a quest for that.

I like their bright coloring, personally. But the fact that they added primal music is awesome, too.

(To be honest, judging by the ears the unicorns and primal ponies have, they're actually mules.)

And whats wrong with some rainbow colored horse/mule/pony things with some badass music?

I'm a girl, so this is like being 6 again and I'm totally okay with that.

Yeah I'd have to agree with you. They are more donkey looking than horse or ponies.

Similar to a horse in shape, big ears, usually have white donkey-nose marking, can't breed, tails like a horse as opposed to a donkey.

Big, muscular, small ears.

Primal ponies are mules. .-.
