==Career in Dallas==
 
Although it is unclear how Summers Pony, an incredibly buff horse, first learned to play blaseball, Pony trotted onto the field at a Dallas Steaks practice. Despite the rule that [[horses]] are not allowed to participate, all in attendance were too intimidated by Pony's muscularity to try to turn them away. Any lingering thoughts of stopping this monolith of equine flesh disappeared after Pony hit a triple in their first at-bat, and they were promptly signed to a multi-year contract.
 
 
 
Pony was fourth in the Steaks' rotation, an above average hitter, and a challenge to all traditional notions of what it means to be a horse.
 
 
 
==Career in Philly==
 
Pony was switched with [[Rai Spliff]] to the [[Philly Pies]] during a season 8 feedback. Upon Rai's departure, Pies GM [[Sam Hinkie]] loudly and angrily bemoaned to anyone who would listen that they had just ordered a shipping crate of Pies-branded rollerskates for Rai. As a joke, [[Jessica Telephone|JT]] put two pairs of skates over Summers' hooves and convinced them that it was part of the uniform for the fourth-hitter position. Hinkie, eager not to let those skates go to waste, quickly agreed. Summers, unable to meaningfully propel themself in the skates, is pushed around the bases by [[Ruslan Greatness]], the only team member large enough to shoulder this burden.
 
 
 
Since arriving in [[Philadelphia]] Pony has become close friends with [[Beasley Day]], the two of them often chilling together on the grass between games. The interspecies friendship has proven to be a source of delight for many flans. Pictures of the two often adorn many of the more clickbaity Pies social media pages.
 
 
 
==Career in Seattle==
 
Pony was swapped with [[Farrell Seagull]] to the [[Seattle Garages]] during a season 8 feedback. When asked about their newest addition, Team Captain [[Theodore Duende]] was cited saying "We've gotten [[Quack Enjoyable|a duck]], [[Oliver Notarobot|a cyborg]], [[Nolanestophia Patterson|a catgirl]], [[Paula Mason|a temporary heavy metal grandma]], and [[Paula Turnip|a plant person]] this season, so this may as well happen, too. Everyone is capable of being a Garage, the more the merrier, honestly."
 
 
 
Shortly after their arrival, their rollerskates broke. The team attempted to let them run the bases without skates, however this proved difficult for Pony, given their penchant to show trot and not reach the base in time. To remedy this, [[Oliver Notarobot|Oliver "Oll-E" Notarobot]] and [[Oliver Mueller]] collaborated in fixing and upgrading Pony's skates into horsepowered rollerskates. The upgrades include heavy duty all terrain tires, reinforced leg supports, and signal lights. A number of bumper stickers have been placed on them. The process was difficult, given Pony's distaste of their hocks being handled, but was ultimately worth it.  Pony has taken to these alternate skates well, and even allows Notarobot to assist them with putting them on and taking them off.[[File:Sexton Wheerer-Summers Pony as a magical girl.png|thumb|A sketch depicting what one such transformation might look like. Drawn by Hen.|alt=|201x201px]]
 
 
 
Pony is a member of the "[[Street Animals]]" group founded by Oliver Mueller, a group dedicated to teaching animals how to skate. As expected, they are proving to be a natural at not only horsepowered rollerskates, but skateboarding as well.
 
 
 
Pony has expressed curiosity in Quack Enjoyable's magical bat. After seeing it transform him from a duck into a handsome half human, Pony has been seen attempting to obtain the bat on numerous occasions, but as the bat is kept in the Garages storage, Pony is always discovered before being able to touch the magical bat. When asked why Enjoyable won't simply let Pony hold the bat for a moment, Enjoyable was quoted saying, "I don't think the world is ready for Magical Summers Pony quite yet." The rest of the team nodded in agreement.
 
 
 
==Music==
 
Like any member of the Garages, Summers Pony is an important member of the band. Pony plays the harmonica via a special rig strapped to their neck as well as a specialty DDR pad hooked up to a midi sampler. In their downtime they have been learning how to play the saxophone, but as they need to be lying on their back to do so, it's proven to have a bit of a learning curve. Pony hopes to some day master the song "Careless Whisper" by George Michael.
 
 
 
===Party Time Debut===
 
After practicing for months in Season 9, Pony surprised everyone by performing a saxophone solo during game 91 against the [[Charleston Shoe Thieves]] and being the first of the Garages to party. This performance was so great, even star pitcher [[Betsy Trombone]] was distracted by it, causing her to give up a walk. Pony is now an official member of the Skarages, much to the delight of Oliver Mueller.

Box of Summers Pony Files

Dust billows as the file box lands on the table. While many archives in the Interdimensional Rumor Mill are unified in some way, this... definitely isn’t one of them. The accompanying Rumor Registry explains all of the contents... wherever it is... but for now you grab the folder labelled IF-1.989 and start reading...

Early Life and Career

Summers Pony joined the Dallas Steaks in Season 1 alongside her childhood best friend, Jessica Telephone. The two had been inseparable up to that point, having grown up and gone to school together in the Dallas area. As children, they had a weekly slumber party tradition, featuring pizza, movies, magazines, and plenty of gossip.

Pony was recruited to the Steaks by the same recruiter that scouted the Telephone twins, and was thrilled to be on the team with her best friend. That happiness wasn't to last, however, as Jessica Telephone was traded to the Philly Pies in the Season 1 Election, leaving Pony behind in Dallas. The two continued to stay in touch through weekly phone calls.

While Pony was friendly with many of the other Steaks, she struggled to make a true connection like the one she had with Telephone. Pony grew increasingly lonely on the team as, over time, her phone calls to her best friend grew less frequent, eventually going unanswered entirely. Seeking to "leave this small town behind,"[1] Pony saw an opportunity to be reunited with her best friend early in season 8 and swapped onto the Pies.

Rumors conflict over the nature of Telephone and Pony's relationship in Philly, but two theories are popular: that Telephone greeted Pony warmly, but was too busy to properly reunite and bond with her friend, or that Telephone rebuffed Pony, unable to relate to her former friend after experiencing both stardom and shelling. Neither were available to comment on the matter, but sources confirmed one fact: that Telephone gifted Pony with a pair of vintage 1980s roller skates.

Pony struggled to adjust to life in Philly, often wishing she'd never left home. Her new teammates often tried to cheer her up: Ruslan Greatness and Beasley Day in particular made a point to hang out with her every weekend, bringing with them pizza, movies, magazines, and plenty of gossip. After the second shelling of Jessica Telephone and a fateful heart-to-heart with Lang Richardson, Pony set out to learn to enjoy life without attaching her happiness to her friendship with Telephone.

Move to Seattle

Pony moved to Seattle during the Season 8 Postseason, where she's begun to rekindle her love of activities she enjoyed prior to joining the ILB. In particular, she's taken up the saxophone. While she struggles at playing more than a few notes, she's proud to say that she can play the lick. She's been learning the opening to "Careless Whisper" by George Michael since the Season 9 playoffs, and hopes that it'll be performance-ready soon.

Within her first few days as a Garage, her roller skates broke. Oliver Mueller gave her a new pair and began to give her skating lessons alongside the Lil' Roadies. She took to it quickly, eventually joining the Jerboa Junction Roller Derby team as a blocker.

Outside of music and skating, Pony can often be found eating pizza with the Lil' Roadies, watching movies with Oliver Notarobot and Theodore Duende, reading magazines with Goodwin Morin and Sparks Beans, and sharing gossip with Betsy Trombone and Durham Spaceman.

After Season 14, Pony decided to step away from Blaseball, opting to open up a roller rink as a part of the Seattle Shadows Co-op. Pony's rink is now the permanent home of Jerboa Junction. Rumor has it that, when she left the active roster, she secretly let a Lil' Roadie take her spot.
