Plus, I'm thinking it's a book where the ponies will be transportation and nothing else, which is not an incentive to continue reading for me.
But ponies don't need to eat or rest or be cared for or paid attention! They're like cars with four legs, ready to tirelessly carry the hero off to his Big Important Overdescribed Destiny And Stuff.
But, having re-read the paragraph, now I'm wondering if they're wearing pants. (The riders, I mean, not the ponies!)
Yeah, that too. It occurs to me that there are cultures (in historical Europe and elsewhere) where the tunic is all you wear because one might, for instance, put a belt around it and a coat over it and call it an outfit.
