My understnding is that the Tooks were as close as monarchy that the Shire got, the Brandybucks were the same in Buckland.

As far as ponies go, Merry could have just taken some from his father. Or perhaps, Merry owned his own ponies. He's the heir to Buckland basically, so, he probably has at least one pony of his own. Perhaps he carried out the purchase (if he did, in fact, buy the ponies) in his own name. The population of the Shire and Buckland probably would not find it strange that Merry Brandybuck bought some live stock.
