It's Pony is a British animated television series created by Ant Blades that premiered on Nickelodeon in the United States on January 18, 2020. The series is storyboarded, designed, produced, and animated by Blue Zoo Animation Studio. The final episode aired on Nicktoons on May 26, 2022.

It's Pony follows the life of Annie as she does her best to cope in her parents' farm (located on the balcony of their apartment) to the everyday struggles of being a 9-year-old in the city. Luckily, she has a pony. He may not be the best pony, but he is hers and she loves him. Pony adores her as well, but his optimism and enthusiasm often lead to the pair in unexpected and unwanted situations.

The series originated from a short titled Pony, created as part of the annual Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program.[3] On March 6, 2018, it was announced that Nickelodeon officially green-lit the series with a 20-episode order at Nickelodeon's 2018 upfront presentation.[4][3][5] On December 9, 2019, it was announced that the series would premiere on January 18, 2020, with a teaser episode released online on December 26, 2019.[2][6]

On July 9, 2020, the series was renewed for a second season of 20 episodes,[7][8] which premiered on October 29, 2021. On March 28, 2024, the series was removed from Paramount+ as part of a "strategic decision to focus on content with mass global appeal".[9]

Emily Ashby gave the series a 4 out of 5 stars, stating that "the show plays on the absurd for laughs, but it's mostly well done and does entertain."[61]
