I've only ever heard of Ride That Pony as a game, kind of like the others discribed.Around here, the cheerleaders at all the schools have a huge 'bonding moment' at Competion while waiting for the results and Ride That Pony's definitely a favorite then.
In our version, we stand in one big circle while 3-5 ppl, depending on how many people are in the big circle, are in the middle. 3-5 smaller people are on their backs riding the 'pony'. The people in the outer circle sing while the 'ponies' gallop around the inside of the circle. Here are the lyrics we use: 'Ride, ride, ride that pony/Get up and ride that big fat pony/Ride, ride, ride that pony/This is how we do it' After this, the people on the 'ponies' backs jump off and all the people in the middle stop at the closest person and dance. Then we all sing: 'Front to front to front with my baby/Back to back to back with my baby/Side to side to side with my baby/This is how we do it!' The peope who the ponies and riders stopped in front of then switch and become the new p.'s and r.'s. We always play this for around half an hour while we wait for the awards, and all the cheerleaders from all the different schools get to hang out and talk without competition blocking it. It's really fun.
