I have nice (and very welcome) guests in my Minecraft world now.
 
Mod: Animal Bikes 1.4.7  
Building a pony bike lets you enjoy 54 different ponies as useable mounts. Surround a saddle with 8 diamonds to have access to your ponies. The spawned pony is random and the item depletes over time.
 
Edit: Right clicking the spawned pony will make it disappear again and refill a part of the item durability.
 
I just thought I’d share this here for those who like minecraft but didn’t know about this mod.
