2
3It's an intentionally screwy short that starts with the boy getting a horse with an abnormally long tongue. He loves his horse and loves spending time with him.

5"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bqNAcRlQ6o Let Me Tell You A Story]]" is a full version of the song heard at the end of the short ''Pony & Boy''. It also explains the plot better than the short itself.

8!!''Pony & Boy'' provides examples of:
9
10* AnimalisticAbomination: A shooting star hits the pony and turns it from a regular horse into... whatever-it-is.
11* ADogNamedDog: The pony is just called "Pony".
12* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Is it set in the past or in a RetroUniverse? The characters don't dress contemporary, yet a character has a mobile phone.
13%% * ABoyAndHisX: The story is a ComingOfAgeStory about a boy and his horse... Or, so it's stated. %% Add more context to describe their relationship and what effect it has on them. %%
14* DisguisedHorrorStory: It has an ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''-like art design, but then there's creepy scenes like the nightmare sequence of the boy taking out his pony's heart. The short ends on an ominous note with [[spoiler:the boy being sacrificed to something by the pony.]]
15* InformedSpecies: The humans barely resemble humans and the pony doesn't look much like a pony, but special mention goes to the peaches. They're orange circles that aren't very peachy seeming at all.
16* MissingMom: The boy lives with his dad and grandmother, but no mother.
17* NoNameGiven: No character is named.
