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.
