This morning's prompt was 'pony'.

I need a character a day from that, quick...

A day late, but racing cart ponies, their drivers and handlers.

"Pretty Polly," Jimmy the groomer cooed as he brushed the pony down. Polly looked up from her oats and snorted at him.

"Oh, am I being childish or something?"

The pony pawed the bedding in her stall and modded. She was a smart and proud pony, demanding, too. She snorted once, twice, three times and sniffed at Jimmy's pockets.

"No. No! Not till I'm done and you are finished with your feed-"

Polly helped herself to the apple.

"Hey! Half of that was mine!"
