Shanks' pony means one's legs, used as a means of transport. Shanks' (or shanks's) mare (or nag or pony) derives from the name of the lower part of the leg between the knee â¦ and ankle-the shank, nowadays more often known as the shin-bone or tibia. This was alluded to in the early form of this term-shank's nag. This originated in Scotland in the 18th century.
