Hmmn... The horse killed his maker, and a horse led to the downfall of troy... So does that mean we should fear the day al qaeda arms horses with timed explosives?

No, just that all man made horses are evil.

Where did you find that picture?

And ponies are loveable and desired by every little girl.

Horses are weapons of war, manly and powerful. (And now they're demonic)

I googled mechanical horses and looked for images.

Which also brings to mind that native americans used ponies for war as well.

But I do agree with you in the symbolism of it, that horses are thought more as dominant creatures, for war and what not, and ponies are regarded as more peaceful.

Plus, there's also My Little Pony. And those things couldn't hurt a fly.

I like the horses in Chronicles of Narnia.

XKCD, I have one rebuttal, which may or may not prove my point about ponies. Ponies are mentioned at the end.

Okay, fine, I was just trying to help you get over your newfound fear of merry-go-rounds.

I guess you can just stick with non-horse/pony ones.
