...and we have a winner!

Well done, BG - Fatty Lumpkin it is! Take the thread!

(To clear up the First Age ambivalence up there: considering that Bombadil has been around for a long, long time and we're never told how old Fatty was, I had that madcap idea that Iarwain Ben-adar's mount could perhaps have been some equally enigmatic long-lived beast along the lines of e.g. Huan or Thorondor; but there's really nothing pointing in that direction beyond his connection with ole Bombadillo, and nothing indicating that he was anything but a regular pony. Sorry if anybody was led astray!)
