A pony is worth 25 XP. Using the 2024 encounter budgets (SRD 5.2), this is how many ponies fit each difficulty for a party of four characters of the same level. A dash means even one would be over the budget.
| Party level | Low | Moderate | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 8 | 12 | 12+ |
Budgets add up every monster’s XP, so you can swap some for other creatures of the same total. Try other party sizes and mixes in the encounter calculator.
