What Is Shank's Pony

[hibiscusrose]

I'm having trouble with the spelling of the above question.

The clue is: Transport involving your own two feet.(6'1, 4)
Pattern: S- A - K - S/PONY.

Up to now I can only find Shanks Pony. I would appreciate some help.

Thank you.

Ignore my suggestion

[JJ109]

Ones own legs as a means of travel = Shank's Pony, walking etc
That is the answer

Thank you to everyone. My problem is with the spelling not the meaning.
SHANKS has 6 letters, my answer has 7 letters.

The expression arose in the days when words ending in "s" had "'s" added for the possessive case. When it became fashionable to drop the final "s", the expression "Shanks's Pony" retained it.

Glad we managed to help.
