Ponies clean themselves by mutual grooming in a herd situation. Two herd mates will stand side by side and 'nibble' at each others coats. This helps to remove insects from the coat, relieves itching and helps produce oils in the coat. They will also roll in the dirt or mud to keep biting flies and mosquitos off of them.
In domestic situations where there is no herd ponies typically rely on humans to do the grooming.
