Stable Pony 

A cheap Irish bastard...who makes everyone else pay when out on the town usually failing to buy their own beer, cigarettes or anything for that matter. Their only purpose in life is to entertain people with their empty, pointless conversations and actions leading to fist fights or the accumulation of tears shed for their own self loathing.

Ride That Pony

A game created by thespians at Roosevelt Highschool in Des Moines, Iowa. It has been passed down multiple times, but they were the real creators.
A group of ten+ people stand in a circle while a few people go around in an inside circle pretending to ride a pony while singing a song.

The song goes like this:
Woooo, ride that pony
Woooo, ride that pony
Woooo, ride that pony

This is how we ride

Then, the inside circle stops on whatever person the "this is how we ride" ended at, and dances. That portion of the song goes:
Front to front to front my pony
back to back to back my pony
side to side to side my pony
This is how we ride,

The people dancing then switch places with the person they were dancing with, and they then become the inside circle, then repeat.
Amazing game, for shizzle.
Kirsten: Let's play ride that pony
Bob: Heck yahhh, go Thespian games!

electric pony 

The act of doing a guy/girl from behind while shaving one's own anal hairs. Just as one is about to blow one's load, he pulls out and squirts a line along the receiver's back. He then sprinkles the anal hairs along the line to create a mane, much like that of a pony.
Once you've done the electric pony, you are truly a pimp.
