Meaning that if you sell the pony to a buyer, the buyer would wait for you to send it to a highly trusted community member and upon them receiving it, the money would be sent to you. Like escrow.

A pony like this is similar to buying a diamond. Extra care has to be taken.

I'm sure other people here will be able to come up with more ideas to ensure a safe transaction.
Collector1 has come up with good suggestions there. Putting the pony for sale through eBay gives buyers more protection too.
