It could have been just a rope and no pony. In my experience with horses there is only one thing that I can think of that would cause Bill not to be put in that scene intentionally and that is snow. It is not that horses don't like it, it is that ice can build up on the bottom of their hooves and they could slip and fall and that would be a really big mess. Although Bill is with them on the edge of the clif when Saurman brings the mountain down on their heads but that was a more controlled environment maybe.
