War Pony

I didn't know there was like a difference between a pony and a war pony. The link info says that they are like a special breed of pony so they're different to the regular ones.

When you're mounted you tend to be the target of everyone on foot so I'd rather have a heavy war horse that's armored rather than something smaller.

Barding can be applied to any mount, even a dog. Also a medium target is generally harder to hit than a large target. So with a barded war pony you get a lower price for armor and it is harder to hit (in general). Though the saying you get what you pay for does apply in this situation I think.

A war horse has definite advantages, though you need to be pretty wealthy to afford one with all the bells and whistles.

You also have to consider being charged by someone who is also mounted. I wouldn't want to be on something small when my opponent looks like if he's on a dinosaur.

This is true, also I wanted to try and answer Beasts question.

A war horse has certain trained actions it can do. Having to do with handle animal. When an animal is trained the better the trainer and the more it is trained the more skills it has. So a war horse is just a well trained pony in essence.

Hey Beast is my character I'm play by post or like Pundit likes to call me "Play". I understand what you're saying but just imagining my character on a pony doesn't go well. I'd want at least like a light horse.

A war pony is a war horse for those smaller in size. Imagine if you would a dwarf on a full sized war horse. That just does not look right. Now put that same dwarf on a war pony and you have a mounted Dwarven calvary. Granted they may not be as powerful as a war horse but war pones are bred specifically for caring dwarfs and halflings into battle. They are more stout than a war horse and can deal significant damage to those on foot.
