Pony Beads 5/0  are larger than Seed Beads, but smaller than Crow Beads. Historically, pony beads gained popularity during the 17th and 18th centuries as trade beads, transported by pack ponies across Indigenous trade routes. Their larger size and vibrant hues made them ideal for adornment, ceremonial uses, and regalia design.  Pony Beads were available to the Native Americans of the Plains before the introduction of Seed Beads. Today, they remain a favorite for both traditional and contemporary crafting.
