Shire Pony

A Shire pony is a specific breed of horse found solely in the Shire biomes. These ponies appear considerably smaller than regular horses and are often used by hobbits to perform various tasks from carrying luggage to being ridden into battle! (the latter a bit less often as you could imagine).

Spawning
Shire Ponies spawn exclusively in the Shire; in this biome, no horses spawn, since they would be too large for Hobbits to ride. It will thus probably be the first mount a new player encounters.

Occasionally, Hobbit shirriffs may spawn riding a pony. Mounted Hobbit shirriffs can also be hired from a chief.

Behaviour
These ponies behave in the same way as the mod's horses but are smaller, slower and possess weaker jumping strength. Like donkeys and mules, these ponies can be equipped with a storage chest once tamed. Making them a more easily accessible source of portable storage without having to search the wide plains of Middle-Earth for a donkey.

Drops
When killed, Shire Ponies drop between zero and three pieces of leather, just like normal horses.
