Try starting with copying images from reference to get a good idea for proportions and the shape of the head/body. With ponies the general head structure only has a few components to it, and due to the flash rigs you can have references for every angle you'd realistically want. The things I struggled with when I drew ponies was body length and drawing the hair at unusual angles. I found ponies are actually easier to draw when they are wearing clothes, because they give you an excuse to cover up the harder to proportion body
