Can one comfortably lift a pony, or would police be involved

If one imagines a scenario where police gets involved for manhandling?

 

There he is officer.

Guy: Its a misunderstanding. I just wanted friends

You must never manhandle your pony  Ponies must be handled with kid gloves

omg "handle with kid gloves" mean handle with soft gloves made of goat skin

maybe don't handle the ponies at al., just brush them :3

I'm confused by the question.

Could you as a person pick up a pony? Most likely not for IRL. While a Shetland, probably the most popular pony breed, is less than half the size of your typical horse, they're still quite a large animal weighing hundreds of pounds.

Could you pick up a pony from the show? While they share many characteristics with real poines, they're significantly less stickier, and I imagine would be comparable to people in weight. So arguably still some heft, but if you've got a good back, you'll manage.

Now if the comfort in question is the pony's and you don't have consent, I highly suspect you will walk away with some cracked ribs, if you can walk at all.

This begs a question regarding the aftermath of pony on pony crime.  They have clearly been shown to have the ability to carry each other, it helps having four limbs making contact with the ground, as well as cartoon logic. However, arrests are probably somewhat difficult, as shackles would have to be used and are heavier and looser than cuffs. You and your prisoner are moving nowhere fast on hoof.

You probably could lift this one in real life i think.

@Maxmillian Magestic!

Probably not as a human. I imagine they might be a similar size to miniature ponies (going off the less muscular and lanky builds, especially in the earlier gens), so you might be able to push them a bit, but most likely not lift them entirely. As for if police would get involved...if their laws are similar to ours at all, you'd probably get into some amount of hot water if you just walked up and lifted them, but it'd probably be okay if you had permission.
