The black pony on the left isn't actually going to try to take the white
pawn because then the white pony on the right would get her. So that's
fine. Then if we move the other white pony, then all the ponies will be
in a square, which is pleasingly symmetrical and therefore is the
correct move (no, really: when facing a superior opponent, keeping the
opening symmetrical limits the risk of doing something really dumb that
you can't see).
